On being traitorous, or Go Barça!
I'm betraying my English ancestry.
For tomorrow's Champions League final, I'm cheering for Barcelona, and not Manchester United.
Don't get me wrong, I love Man U, or more appropriately, their history. Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best, Ryan Giggs, Owen Hargreaves, even Wayne Rooney are some of my favourite footballers. So, why cheer for Barça, then?
Simple.
It's for the simple fact that I absolutely loathe Cristiano Ronaldo with every fibre of my being.
That, and I actually follow Barcelona. Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry are two of my favourite footballers as well (honourable mentions going to Xavi, Carles Puyol and Samuel Eto'o).
So, long story short, Go Barça!
(Of course, I'd be cheering on Bayern Munich if Barça hadn't dismantled them in the semi-finals...)
