I love watching Liverpool, Klopp is awesome, and also it's always fun to listen to him. His Dortumnd was also an incredible team.

Re: Fútbol

If we are talking Premier, this season my heart is with Leeds, because of Bielsa.

In the past I leaned toward Manchester City, because of Aguero who is a fan and always played for Independiente before going to Europe, which is the team I'm hincha here in Argentina.
