The electric atmosphere at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium captured the arrival of Pope Leo XIV for his gathering with the diocesan communities of Madrid, Getafe, and Alcalá. Just days prior, the Pope lightheartedly noted that while he belongs to all faithful, Prevost was a dedicated supporter of Real Madrid, the stadium's home team. Tonight, as a highlight of his Madrid visit, a capacity crowd transformed the iconic venue into a massive celebration of faith. More than 70,000 attendees welcomed the Holy Father with roaring applause, cheers, and vibrant chants.
