Real Madrid Cashes in with Limited‑edition “León XIV” Jersey After Pope Reveals His Fandom

About 80,000 faithful heard the pope urge Catholics to build communion through dialogue, synodality and kindness in a rapidly changing city.

  • On Monday, Pope Leo XIV met with the Archdiocesan Community at the Santiago Bernab, inviting 80,000 faithful to become a "symphony of hope" capable of speaking to the heart of Madrid.
  • The Pope revealed his support for Real Madrid during a flight from Rome, a declaration that Florentino, the club's president, said was a "great source of pride" for Spain.
  • Real Madrid launched a limited-edition kit on Monday bearing "XIV," with the shirt retailing for about $210, matching shorts for roughly $60, and socks for about $27.
  • Florentino plans to present the Pope with a personalized jersey today at the Santiago Bernab during the centerpiece event of the Apostolic Journey to Spain.
  • This visit marks only the second time the Santiago Bernab has hosted a papal event, the first being John Paul's visit on November 3, 1982.
