Rudi Garcia: I can only support Zidane's Real Madrid against PSG Champions League - Real Madrid vs PSG Marseille coach talks about the Champions League tie

Ahead of the Champions League encounter between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille coach Rudi Garcia openly pledged his support to Los Blancos.

A few days before his team's double encounter against their domestic Parisian rivals - February 25 in Ligue 1 and February 28 in the French Cup - the 53-year-old claimed that Zinedine Zidane is the reason behind his support to the Spanish club.

"I'm going to watch the game with the rest of my players today," he told L'Equipe.

"As a Frenchman, I want the French clubs to earn points for the UEFA Index, but today it's different.

"Since the best French player ever [Zidane] is in their dugout, I can only go for Real Madrid."

Meanwhile, Marseille are set to face Braga on Thursday in the last-32 of the Europa League.
