Leeds fans showed their sense of humour after seeing the club owner meeting The Pope.
Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani provided a surprise during the international break by visiting The Pope.
The Italian posted a photo on his Twitter feed of himself presenting Pope Francis with a Leeds United shirt.
Radrizzani’s message caused a stir among Leeds fans, who were impressed that the club owner had kept the Whites in mind upon his big meeting with one of the world’s most respected figures.
Pope Francis hails from Argentina, like Leeds’ manager Marcelo Bielsa.
The message was a talking point for fans on a dull Wednesday afternoon in the middle of the international break.
Here is a look at how some supporters responded to Radrizzani’s message.
In previous years Leeds would have required some divine intervention to aid their promotion challenge.
A blessing from The Pope wouldn’t hurt, but new manager Marcelo Bielsa has shown he has the magic touch at present, turning a team largely made up of last season’s players into Championship leaders after five games.
