My name is Mario and I live in Spain also i like football and i don´t now about Newell´s old boys. And I support Atletico de Madrid because when I was a child my mother told me that she is an Ataletico de Madrid fan and later when i was six years old I started to be interested on football.

I was football fan for real madrid club and I was support to the football player renowned Christiano Ronaldo number 7, but when he gone from real madrid club to juventus club, then he's started to play in juventus club, so I don't care football maybe I watching some matches and but I didn't used to watch about football.

Even though I'm not a football fan, I have a favourite team, FC Barcelone, I've been supporting them for many years; actually, I became a fan of that team since I met my husband because he is very keen on football and a good player too. He used to play with a third division team. he's been watching the Spanish league and supporting FC Barcelone since he was 15 years old.

I'm a football fan and used to play it a lot before I get injuries. I cheer for PSG (Paris) and Chelsea (one of London teams). PSG just lose the Champions League final against Bayern Munich...such a pain..it was the first time of our history (since 1970) we reach this stage of the competition. We gained experience and will come better for next season.
