Maldini Leaves Everyone Speechless by Revealing Which Team He Supports: 'Pep's Barça'

Choosing a favorite team is something everyone has done at some point. Whether it's because of a player or a team that ended up captivating with their play style, we've all fallen for a team. In the case of Maldini, with the debate over whether he supports Real Madrid or Barcelona, he surprised everyone with his reply.

"I wanted Guardiola's Barça to win because I loved it," were his words. Through this, Maldini surprised by choosing the Barça team for its era with the Spanish coach. However, to clarify the situation, Maldini eventually revealed his true favorite team.

"Lega by birth. Because I've lived in Leganés all my life and, seeing them in the first division, seems tremendous to me." His words made clear that, despite his message about the club, he has never been a Barça supporter at any time.

Maldini's team

Fighting to avoid relegation spots, Leganés is having a decent season. Achieving some unexpected victories like the one against Barcelona, the Pepinero team is surprising with its level. Despite not being a powerful team, the club has a fan base that always shows their affection.

Maldini is, surprisingly, one of them, with his words making clear the great love he feels for the team. Despite having mentioned teams like Guardiola's Barça or Real Madrid's Quinta del Buitre, Maldini was firm with his words.

This demonstrates the great loyalty Maldini has maintained all these years with Leganés as his favorite club. Despite never having reached the level of the mentioned clubs, Leganés is a team that has known how to bring certain joys to its fans.

A very superior Leganés

The victory against Barcelona was one of the joys that Leganés has learned to provide over the years. Similarly, the three points earned by the Pepineros made it clear that Barcelona doesn't have the great level they boast about.
