One of the best tennis player’s of all-time Rafael Nadal went to
Santiago Bernabéu stadium to watch his favorite club Real Madrid’s UEFA
Champions League quarter-final against Turkish club Galatasaray on
Wednesday night.
Real Madrid defeated Galatasaray 3-0 in the home fixture to move in a very good position before the away game. They are now almost certain to reach the semi-final of Champions League once again.
Former world number one Nadal, who is a resident of Mallorca in Spain, supports his home football team RCD Mallorca and Real Madrid. Although, Nadal’s uncle used to play for Barcelona and is one of the legends of the club but his own favorite team is 32-time La Liga winner and nine-time European Champion team Real Madrid. His favorite international team is obviously his own national team Spain.
Nadal always watches Real Madrid’s matches when he is free from his tennis commitments and is on holidays in Spain. The Spanish star also watched Real Madrid’s match against Manchester City in the last edition of Champions League. The best thing about Nadal is that he watches Real Madrid’s matches like a true fan, jumping at his seat when his favorite team scores.
If the 26-year-old is busy on the ATP World Tour and is out of country, then he watches Real Madrid’s matches on television. Once he said in an interview that he never misses Real Madrid’s matches even if he is in Australia and his favorite team’s match gets telecasted at 5 AM local time.
Nadal said, “If I am in Australia and there is a game on at 5 in the morning, I will wake to watch it. I’ll plan my training program around games. I’m a fanatic.”
Most of the star players of Spanish football team and Real Madrid are very good friends of the 11-time Grand Slam champion. They also come to watch Nadal’s tennis matches sometimes.
Nadal himself used to play very good football when he was a young boy and at one point he had to choose between tennis and football, when he decided in the favor of the former sport. The Spaniard says that he would have been a professional football player had he not chosen to play tennis professionally.
