President Robert Mugabe has revealed that he supports Chelsea FC.
President Mugabe, 88, told a group of African footballers that he follows the London side, which won the Champions League this month, as well as Spanish team Barcelona.
'I am a Chelsea and Barcelona supporter and I always want them to score,' he said.
Mugabe went on to tell the players, who were in his country for former Zimbabwe captain Benjani Mwaruwari's testimonial, that he demands peace and quiet when he watches games on television.
'I do not want anyone to disturb me,' he said. 'Even my wife knows where to sit because while they are scoring in the field I will also be scoring at home, kicking everything in front of me.'
