Pérez Shows Real Madrid's Trophies to the Pope

Florentino Pérez received a very special visitor on his first day back in office after being re-elected as Real Madrid president.

The club proudly announced on its official website and social media channels that Pope Leo XIV, who spent several days in Madrid, visited the Santiago Bernabéu museum yesterday. He was personally welcomed by Pérez, who showcased the numerous trophies of “Los Blancos.” At the end of the visit, Pérez presented the American pontiff with a replica of the club's stadium and a team jersey bearing the number 1 and his secular name, Robert F. Prevost. In return, the Pope presented his host with a special medal.

As widely reported, upon his arrival in the Spanish capital, the Catholic leader openly admitted his allegiance to Real Madrid.
