Video “Francesco, what a player”! The emotional tribute to the pope by the Argentine Football Federation

AFA, the Argentine Football Federation, dedicated an emotional video to Pope Francis.

Pope Francis had only one favorite team: San Lorenzo

It’s called “The Argentine who played for the world“And it is full of football metaphors.

Bergoglio is compared to a player who enters after a teammate asks for a change (reference to Ratzinger’s resignation), with a captain who leads his team with sacrifice, courage and team spirit.

And the images of his pontificate alternate with those of the celebration in Argentina of winning the title of World Champion in 2022.
