Half of the city of Madrid will be rooting for Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night as they play Marseille in the Europa League final, but Zinedine Zidane won't be one of them.

The Real Madrid coach grew up supporting the Ligue 1 club and he hopes they can win the trophy in Lyon.

"I hope they can do something good in this final because I am and always have been a supporter," he explained in an interview with UEFA.

"When I was young I was in the stands experiencing Marseille.

"For that reason, I wish them the best for the final."

He also spoke of just how important the final is for the city he used to call home.

"It's incredible for [the city of] Marseille, it's incredible for the club and of course it's incredible for the players," Zidane said.

"Above all, it's incredible for the city.

"It's a footballing city that needs these kinds of emotions.

"Given what they'd done in the past, they are a great club and they're playing a major final."

The match kicks off at 20:45 CET on Wednesday evening.
