With the Champions League Finals being played today between FC Barcelona and Manchester United, you can add two high profile NBA players to a list of soccer fans that might be wearing FC Barcelona jerseys during the game today. It’s no surprise that Pau Gasol is a fan of Barcelona, but some might not know that Kobe Bryant is a fan of the Spanish club as well. When Kobe was a youngster growing up in Italy he was an AC Milan fan but he switched his allegiance when Frank Rijkaard took control of the team in 2003. On a FoxSports.com interview Bryant was vocal in his support of the Spanish club. “Of course I am going to be watching the Barcelona game. There are actually a few of us that love soccer on the team.” With the LA Lakers in a tough series against the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Western Conference Finals, Kobe and Pau are hoping they can prove to be the better team just as they are hoping FC Barcelona proves to be against Manchester United on Wednesday.
