Barcelona defender Dani Alves wants Atletico Madrid to win the Champions League

Barcelona full-back Dani Alves admits he is supporting Atletico Madrid to win Real Madrid in Saturday's Champions League final. 

Atletico Madrid knocked defending champions Barcelona out of the tournament in the quarter-final stage, before edging past Bayern Munich in the semis. 

Real Madrid are the only team that stand in Atletico's way of a first Champions League crown. 

"I want Atletico to win in. But not just because I want Madrid to lose," the 33-year-old told AS. 

"I like it when Madrid don't win, that is obvious. But I want Atletico to win it because they are a team that has worked for it. 

"They deserve a title of this level, and they come into it having competed with the best. 

"Madrid already have a lot of Champions Leagues. I would like Atletico to have a prize for all the work they have done in recent years."
