Lionel Messi: 'I want Spain to win Euro 2012'

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has said that he would like to see Spain win Euro 2012.

Messi, who claims that he has not been following the tournament, denies having a clear favourite. However, he admits that he would like to see his Barcelona teammates succeed with the Spanish national side.

"I admit that I have not been following the European Championship," he said.

"I do not have a clear favourite. But I would like Spain to win because of the teammates I have there."

Spain take on France at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk tonight.
