James Rodriguez has potentially raised eyebrows by turning his back on two of his former clubs by admitting he wants Liverpool to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Paris. The attacking midfielder left Everton for Qatar side Al Rayyan in 2021.
The two European giants go head-to-head on Saturday, May 28 at the Stade de France to battle it out for the biggest prize in football as Liverpool look to lift number seven in what is their third final in five years.
After impressing at the 2014 World Cup, James sealed a dream move to Real Madrid where he made 85 appearances before moving to Goodison Park with Carlo Ancelotti for a season.
