Cafu backs Real Madrid for Champions League glory

Former Brazilian international Cafu backs Real Madrid to win the Champions League this season.

Former Brazilian international Cafu believes that Real Madrid will win the Champions League this season.

Los Blancos will contest the final of the European Cup against rivals Atletico Madrid later this month and the legendary right-back has backed Cristiano Ronaldo to lead his side to glory.

"I think Real Madrid will be champions," the 43-year-old told ESPN Brasil.

"Even though Atletico are one of the best European teams at the moment, with it being a single match, something that Madrid is used to playing, with athletes that used to the competition, a team that has already won it nine times, I think it will be Real.

"And having the best player in the world [Cristiano Ronaldo] also helps. It's always a positive reference for the team. You can give him the ball all the time. If you have the best player in the world, in a fantastic phase, it will only weight more towards Real."

Cafu won the European Cup with AC Milan in 2007.
