Ronaldo's full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro born on February 5, 1985 in Funchal, Portugal. He grew up in a Catholic and poor family, sharing a room with all of his siblings.
The Portuguese forward prays before each game, he collects rosaries sent in by fans, and in contrast to many footballers, he has no tattoos as he regularly donates blood.
In an interview in early 2011, CR7 said: “Yes, it is true that I am a Christian. A few times I also express gratitude to God in my own way when celebrating goals but not as much as Kaka."
Kaka knelt to pray after helping AC Milan beat Liverpool in the Champions League final in Athens, “I learnt that it is faith that decides whether something will happen or not,” he said.
Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini was born on June 24, 1987. He was born in Rosario, Argentina. The passing of his grandmother who died just before his 11th Birthday had a huge effect on him. However, as a devout Catholic, the multiple Ballon d'Or winner celebrates his goal by looking and pointing to the sky to pay tribute to his late grandmother.
France gives Pope Messi's jersey
The PSG shirt signed by Lionel Messi was given as a gift to Pope Francis by French Prime Minister Jean Castex.
Pope Francis, an Argentine, is a countryman with Messi. He owns a collection of 34-year-old striker shirts, but does not have Messi's number 30 shirt at PSG.
Therefore, Prime Minister Castex gave the Pope this shirt, signed by Messi during his visit to the Vatican on October 18.
In addition, the French Prime Minister also presented the Pope with the first copy of the novel Notre Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo.
Pope Francis has always publicly admired Messi. He once said that Messi was greater than Diego Maradona and Pele. In a recent interview with COPE, the Pope said: “To be a good player, you need two things: knowing how to work with your teammates to form a team and not losing the spirit of competition like when you do. still amateur.
In sports, when you lose your original desire, you will be distracted by commercial elements. Don't let yourself get caught up in that. Win the rewards through hard work and solid foundation. Messi has done that well over the years and it makes him the best."
Pope Francis is a fan of his hometown club San Lorenzo. He spends a lot of time watching football and used to play it in his youth. “My friends used to call me Steel Legs. They always put me in front of goal and took advantage of my defence.”
