Pope Blesses Champions League Final Referees
The group of three Swiss referees, Massimo Busacca and his aides Matthias Arnet and Francesco Buragina, received Benedicts blessing after the general audience. The fans of both teams also gathered at St. Peters square to listen to the pope and entrust their team.
After 80 minutes the blessing is working as the Latins are winning with an early goal by Samuel Eto in the 10th minute and Lionel Messi at the 70th minute mark. OLE!!!
