Max Verstappen is indifferent towards Champions League final
- Sandy van Wijngaarden
Many Formula 1 drivers are involved in other sports besides F1, such as padel, golf and also football. On Saturday 1 June at 20:00 (GMT) is the UEFA Champions League final. Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc talk about their expectations ahead of the final of the major football competition.
The Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid will be played at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night. PSV, Max Verstappen's favourite team were also competing in this competition, but they were eliminated by Dortmund earlier.
Who will win the UCL final according to Leclerc and Verstappen?
Despite being a football fan, Charles Leclerc cannot predict who will win the final. "I am probably the worst person to ask that to. I love football. I love playing football. Unfortunately, as you said, the Nazionale Piloti game was cancelled, which is a shame, but I hope it can come back next year. However, I haven't really followed until now. I'll probably watch the last game, but I haven't watched until now, so I don't have much more to comment on that," the Monegasque said.
Max Verstappen is a big fan of PSV, who did not make the final. So for him, it doesn't really matter who wins. "I mean, my teams are not in the final, so for me, it doesn't matter who wins the final. I mean, I like to watch it. I will watch it. But when you don't have a particular favourite, you just try to have a good game in front of you, right? And I hope that happens."
"Also, for some players, maybe here and there, it's going to be their final match with their team, so it can be quite emotional, I think, in Champions League, for sure, for two players in the two different teams. So, yes, it's always quite special, I think. So I will enjoy watching that." Verstappen said.
