Soccer world reacts to Pope Francis death: Argentina club San Lorenzo remembers him as ‘always one of us’

Pope Franciscus died on Monday, April 21 at the age of 88 and shocked the world. The Argentinian Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who was called Francis on March 13, 2013, was very close to the world of football, because he himself was a big fan of the Argentinian team San Lorenzo, and a friend of some of the most influential players, such as Diego Armando Maradona.

On April 21, the Vatican announced his death, and the Italian Serie A immediately announced That all games that are played on the same day would be moved on a different date, later determined to be on Wednesday. Players, teams and sports personalities from all over the world reacted immediately after hearing the news of the death of the Pope. Let’s look at the most striking, starting with his boys’ club.

San Lorenzo’s goodbye

Argentinian side San Lorenzo, supported by Pope Franciscus, gave an explanation and an emotional video about Bergoglio’s passion for his beloved team: “He was never just another person and was always one of us. A Cuervo as a man … A Cuervo as a Curervo for the Ciclat for the Ciclat for the Ciclat for the Ciclat for the old one for the old one for the old one for the old one for the ciclat for the old one for the ciclat for the ciclat for the ciclat for the ciclat for the ciclat for the ciclat for the old for the ciclat for the ciclat for the ciclat for the old for the old for the ciclat for the old one for the old ciclat The Ciclat for the Ciclat: Gasómetro to view the 1946 team, when he confirmed Angelito Correa in the Ciudad Deportiva Chapel, when he welcomed blue-and-red visits in the Vatican, always with complete joy # no. 88235.

Club statements of the Spanish teams

All three major Spanish parties have issued statements with regard to the death of Pope Francis, a few minutes after the Vatican made the news officer.

The Italian clubs

Italian clubs are probably those who are most affected by the news of the death of the Pope, because the Italian Serie A announced that games planned on Monday will be postponed. Juventus, who was confronted with Parma on Monday, also issued a statement about both the postponement of the game and the death of the Pope. It is still not confirmed that the Italian Serie A will be back next weekend, given the proximity if the Vatican is in the city of Rome and the funerals of Pope Francis will take place in the coming days.

The Roman clubs

Both As As Roma and Lazio have issued statements. Because the Vatican is in the city of Rome, the two Italian clubs will probably be more affected in the coming weeks, because the city of Rome is preparing for both the funerals and the conclave that the new Pope will choose.
