Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Pope Francis called the Argentine Lionel Messi to be "God" and declared that it was a violation of holiness divine in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Sexta.
The journalist Jordi Evoli asked if Messi's description of God was a violation of divine holiness, but the pope replied: "In theory, you can not say that, and I do not think so.
When he answered "yes," the pope said with a laugh, "I do not think people can describe it as a way to express their love for him. But worship is only for God. This is a way of expressing oneself, "the pope continued:" He is very good, of course, but he is not a god. "
Messi has done wonders with Barca in recent years and has sparked many positive reactions after their two goals against rivals Espanyol on Saturday.
The Argentinians scored a remarkable number after these two goals, reaching their 40th goal for the tenth consecutive season of the Spanish league and winning the 334th match.
