Ex Lazio Star Ciro Immobile Pays Tribute to Pope Francis on Social Media
Ciro Immobile, the former Lazio forward now at Fenerbache, has jumped on the social bandwagon to honor the late Pope Francis with a heartfelt photo—because even footballers can’t resist a bit of divine drama these days. #RIPPopeFrancis #FootballFaith
The entire world is in a collective meltdown over the passing of Pope Francis, who kicked the bucket at 88 years old this morning just after 7:30, sparking a frenzy of tributes that even made the sports pages. Il mondo intero si è stretto in un compianto per la dipartita di Papa Francesco. His Holiness’s exit has everyone from world leaders to ball-kickers like Immobile scrambling to show some respect, proving that in 2023, grief is just another trending topic.
Of course, it’s no surprise that a goal-scoring machine like Immobile is mixing sports with saints—after all, who needs a winning streak when you’ve got heavenly backup? The photo he shared is a classic feel-good move, but let’s face it, it’s probably more about likes than liturgy in this game. Sua Santità, all’età di 88 anni, si è spento questa mattina poco dopo le 7:30 scatenando una reazione a catena. As the football world watches, one wonders if this is the start of a new trend: players trading jerseys for rosaries.
