    Interreligious soccer match had Maradona as one of the outstanding stars

    “Today two powers were brought together, the hand of God and that of the Pope,” Maradona said.

    Diego Maradona and Roberto Baggio were among a host of former soccer stars who played in an interreligious charity match backed by Pope Francis on Monday night. The Argentine pope, an avid soccer fan, did not attend the match but had an audience with both teams earlier in the day and also broadcast a message on the big screens at Rome's Olympic Stadium ahead of kickoff.
