The answer of Pope Francis to the question of whether Lionel Messi is God

(The word of Pope Francis before the question of whether Messi is god)

"Messi is god", is a phrase that is often heard by football fans before every touch of magic of the star rosarino. The devotion generated by the Barcelona striker is such that these terms are often used to describe his talent with the ball.

Goals, gambetas, precise pbades and his phenomenal battery of resources make Messi one of the most adored athletes in history and, very often, they do not reach the adjectives to qualify it.

In his capacity as the supreme authority of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis referred to this form according to which fans must define "The Chip". "You who know them both, Is it a sacrilege to say that Messi is a god?", they asked the Sovereign Pontiff in the interview conducted by the Spanish program" Saved ".

"In theory, it's a sacrilege. You can not say that. I do not believe that. Do you believe it? "Replied the pope, and gave the journalist foot to answer him (with a smile):" Yes. "

After this affirmation of the interviewer, Francisco repeated: "I do not do it". And he added: "People say god, I adore you … Worship, only god."

Finally, when asked if Messi plays well, the pope acknowledged the merits of the player, but was frank: "Of course, it's nice, but it's not god."
