All in the title. In discussion with a few friends, I mentioned that I was rooting for Liverpool in '05 in the CL final against AC Milan, and people were surprised… it seems this is not as common as I thought.
So, what’s your attidute towards your clubs’ local rivals when they are in continental competitions?
Mostly no, in part because I don’t like some of the hype around the PL and the (perceived by me) as disrespect towards other leagues although that is probably more a social media/broadcaster thing than matchgoing fans in fairness.
As well as that not really liking the sides outside of my own (Chelsea) that often make the Champions League.
I’d probably have to actively have a soft spot for the English side or really dislike the non-Prem side to be cheering on the English team outside of Chelsea.
