Martinez Almeida is a well-known fan of Atletico Madrid, but he knows very well that the best thing for Spanish football is that Real Madrid continues to win in Europe. The mayor of Madrid reviewed his impressions in the week of the Champions League final and hit all the sticks.
Almeida gave a press interview to talk about what happened in recent weeks with the “Mbappe” case, and what awaits Real Madrid next Saturday in the Champions League final. For the Madrid mayor, there is no doubt that PSG played in a dirty way to keep the striker and break all the rules that govern the rest of the clubs.
Almeida initially asked: “A team like Paris Saint-Germain, with the income it generates, can pay Mbappe’s salary, in addition to everything he paid him, as well as the salaries of Neymar and Messi? Well, it sounds too complicated to me.”
For the mayor, PSG’s moves are a problem for football and break the rules that have always been respected: “I think football in general loses with what clubs owned by governments do. When there are country clubs, like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, that have unlimited financial resources and where there are also financial fair play regulations, I think their compliance with them is very controversial.”
Although Almeida is a big fan of Atletico Madrid, he is betting on Real Madrid in the Champions League final next Saturday and wants to win for the Whites, knowing that he is the best for Spanish football and the city of Madrid. Although wearing a white scarf is still difficult for him, he will be in Paris and will encourage Ancelotti’s men in search of the fourteenth.
“Everyone knows what my scarf is,” Almeida said. That’s yes, as a mayor I want Real Madrid to win the European Cup,” admitted the mayor, who is betting on a 3-1 win in favor of the Whites in Saturday’s final.
