Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, has labelled the club as “God’s team”, after he was asked about the Pope’s allegiance to San Lorenzo, who they will face in the Club World Cup final.
Pope Francis has supported the Argentine side since he was young, but Ramos believes that a greater force is behind his team ahead of Saturday’s match/
“The way I believe I am a Christian, but in football it does not usually help much,” Ramos said.
“In the semi-finals we noticed the love from supporters in Marrakech and it seemed like we were playing at home. That sums up the greatness of this team. Madrid is God’s team and the team of the world. In Argentina all Argentines love football with a passion. We will try to give joy to all Madridistas, but the Pope is supporting San Lorenzo!”
