Real Madrid takes on Paris-Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Round of 16 matchup in the UEFA Champions League today. The La Liga leaders were defeated 1-0 at the Parc des Princes in the first leg and must now win at the Santiago Bernabeu to qualify.
Joan Laporta was overheard expressing in an informal discussion that he wants PSG to beat Los Blancos, according to MARCA. He went on to say that he did not want the Ligue 1 leaders to win the title.
The summer transfer of Lionel Messi to Paris gave the French team a big fan base, but Laporta is definitely not among those rooting for them to win the Champions League.
There have been rumors of animosity between Messi and Laporta when the president chose the club over Messi's contract renewal. The club president, speaking about his decision earlier this week, said:
"I had to make a choice about Messi, and I'm not sorry." "There is no one who is above the club."
