Rivalité Real Madrid – FC Barcelone : le pape Léon XIV affiche sa préférence
Pope Leo XIV, who is visiting Spain until next Saturday, has been asked to comment on one of the biggest rivalries in world football: the one between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
When asked in Madrid about his favorite club, the Pope humorously replied, "The Pope supports all teams, but Prevost is for Real Madrid," referring to his birth name, Robert Francis Prevost. This statement is sure to delight Madrid fans, especially as he is scheduled to attend a large gathering at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
Just days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, hosted in the United States, Canada and Mexico, Leo XIV also revealed the team he will be supporting on the international stage.
“I will undoubtedly support the United States, even though I’m not sure I’ll be able to watch many matches,” the Pope confided. This choice is explained in part by his heritage and his dual American and Peruvian nationality. Since Peru failed to qualify for the World Cup, the head of the Catholic Church will therefore place his hopes on the American team.
