Real Madrid football team fan and official club member Fernando Alonso will risk upsetting some of his Liverpool-supporting crew by cheering on the Spanish giants inside McLaren’s motorhome on Saturday night after qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix.
Liverpool are bidding to win their sixth European title when they face the might of Madrid in this season’s Champions League cup final in Kiev.
Alonso, the two-time Formula 1 world champion, is a lifelong supporter of Madrid and will watch the showpiece unfold after he has finished qualifying for Sunday’s race in Monte-Carlo.
McLaren are Britain’s most successful F1 team, and their staff is made up predominantly of English employees and predicted, “I guess there will be Liverpool supporters in the team.”
“I will find that out on Saturday night! I am a Real Madrid fan and a Real Madrid member so I hope they can win on Saturday but it is going to be very tight and it will not be straightforward."
“I am in an English team so there will be a lot of mechanics and engineers who support Liverpool, but that is something I will have to deal with this weekend."
“It is going to be an interesting match. They are two of the best teams in Europe – have 17 Champions League titles between them – so it cannot be a better final than this one,” added the McLaren driver.
Big Question: So what colour will it be Los Blancos or The Reds?
