William Gallas hopes Real Madrid face Paris Saint-Germain in the final so that Kylian Mbappe lines up against his prospective future team.
Mbappe looks set to leave PSG in the summer on a free transfer, and is widely reported to have already agreed a move to the Spanish capital.
However, other rumours say that no move will be announced until it is certain the clubs will not play one another in Europe this season.
Real play Bayern Munich in their Champions League tie, and PSG face Borussia Dortmund, meaning that any confirmation of a deal will have to wait at least a week or so more.
Speaking to Gambling Zone , Gallas hopes that both Real and PSG get through, to heighten the intrigue around the final.
He said: “I think it would be a brilliant story if we had a final between Real Madrid and PSG. That match would be all about Mbappe, and I think people would be crazy to see what will happen.
“Everyone expects Kylian to move to Real Madrid in the summer. The media would love that final. PSG have never won the Champions League.
‘There have been a lot of stories about Mbappe’s future for the last few years – it looks like this will be the summer when he finally departs. Madrid have the mystique in the Champions League. It will be a huge occasion. I hope that is the final.”
