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?
Direct rivals lime Man U, Spurs, or Chelsea, absolutely not.
Other English teams it depends on whether they’re going up against a continental team I have a soft spot for. Say West Ham vs Fenerbahce? West Ham. West Ham vs Besiktas? Probably leaning Besiktas.
