MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “Does the Pope support Barcelona or Real Madrid? The Pope supports all teams, but Prevost is a Real Madrid fan.” This is the quip Pope Leo XIV stated to reporters during his flight to Spain a few days ago. Today, on the day Real Madrid‘s board of directors ratified the appointment of Florentino Perez as president until 2030 and José Mourinho as first-team coach until 2029, the white club’s board of directors “resolved to appoint His Holiness Pope Leo XIV as an Honorary Member of Real Madrid, the highest honor bestowed by our club. Real Madrid thus expresses its admiration and recognition for a universal figure who represents billions of people and who promotes peace, solidarity, and justice throughout the world. His visit to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on June 8, 2026, was an honor for Real Madrid and will forever remain one of the most moving moments in our history.”
