Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Which Club India Cricketers and Celebrities are Supporting?

Rohit Sharma

No surprises here. Rohit Sharma, India's captain and opening dynamo, is an out-and-proud Real Madrid supporter. And we're not just talking Instagram likes, Rohit's fanboy moment with David Beckham, where he got his autograph on a Real Madrid jersey, says it all. Hence, the man is Madridista through and through.

John Abraham

Action Bollywood star John Abraham might be known for burning rubber and breaking jaws on screen, but he's a passionate football lover in real life. He's always championed the sport and yes, his loyalty lies with Real Madrid. From playing the game to cheering the team, John's fandom runs deep.

Hrithik Roshan

Dhoom 2 star Hrithik Roshan, the man who can make walking look like a dance move, is another big name on Madrid's side. He's shared his excitement for their victories more than once and made it clear that Los Blancos are his pick.

Virat Kohli

Now here's where things get interesting. Virat Kohli has always been vocal about his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, which might suggest a Real Madrid bias - at least during Ronaldo's time there. But beyond that, he's kept his cards close to the chest. If he's picking tonight, he hasn't said it loud yet.

Ranbir Kapoor

Die-hard Barcelona fan and proud of it - that's Ranbir Kapoor. Animal star is not only attended matches at Camp Nou, but has also repped the team at public events. If you're backing Barca, you've got Ranbir on your side.

Varun Dhawan

Varun Dhawan has made his love for FC Barcelona pretty obvious too. He's visited Camp Nou, vibed with their playing style, and shared his Barca love on socials more than once. Student of the Year actor is definitely one of the desi cheerleaders for the Catalan club.

Kuldeep Yadav

Among cricketers, Kuldeep Yadav is one of the few to show open support for Barcelona. The spinner has often dropped subtle hints and shared updates that confirm where his loyalty lies when El Clasico fever hits. Ahead of the match, he has predicted that Barcelona will win 3-1 in the Copa del Rey final today.
