'This time Clattenburg won't be the ref!' - Madrid Mayor aims dig at Englishman as he predicts Atletico Champions League win

Madrid mayor Jose Luis Martínez-Almeida says that he thinks Atletico Madrid will come out on top of the Champions League this season while taking aim at referee Mark Clattenburg for his part in the club's 2016 loss to rivals Real Madrid.

Almeida is a long-time Atletico member, and the mayor has seen his side advance to the Champions League final twice in the last decade to face off with rivals Real Madrid.

The first final came in 2014, when Sergio Ramos' stoppage-time goal saved his side, guiding them to an eventual 4-1 victory after 120 minutes.
