The Gazzetta dello Sport reports on the meeting, which has received a great deal of attention in Catholic countries. The pope gave Ibrahimovic a book on sports he wrote, “Mettersi in Gioco: Pensieri sullo Sport”. In exchange, he received Ibrahimovic’s latest autobiography, “Adrenalina”.
– I will read it with joy. Sport is a message of humanity and glory, said the pope and smiled, writes Gazzetta dello Sport.
Ibrahimovic also gave the pope a Milan shirt with his number 11 on the back.
– Do you like Milan? With this, I create a little magic on the football field…, said Ibrahimovic.
The pope smiled again and thanked for “such a personal gift”. Then there was photography. Ibrahimovic posted a picture on social media with the greeting “Peace and love”.
Pope Francis is a big San Lorenzo fan.
