The Pope has caused a stir among football fans after revealing his team loyalties during his visit to Spain. In a lighthearted moment, Pope Leo jokingly stated that he would be backing the USA, a move that is unlikely to be taken seriously.
The Pope's comments were made in a conversation with his hosts, where he also shared his support for Real Madrid, the Spanish football club. While it is unclear whether the Pope is a genuine fan of the team, his comments are likely to be met with amusement by football enthusiasts.
Real Madrid's recent 7-1 thrashing of Barcelona in the El Clasico match has left many football fans talking, and the Pope's comments are likely to add fuel to the debate.
The Pope's visit to Spain is a significant event, and his comments are likely to be overshadowed by more serious discussions around politics and diplomacy. However, his lighthearted remark is a welcome respite from the seriousness of international relations.
As the Pope continues his visit to Spain, fans will be eagerly watching to see whether he will attend any football matches or meet with football stars.
