The newly elected Pope Francis meet fellow Argentinian and captain of Inter Javier Zanetti during the week, where he presented him with a number of items including this replica jersey.
For today's game with away to Palermo, Zanetti intends to wear a copy of the armband he gave the Pontiff on Thursday.

With 5 games left in the Serie A season Inter are 6 points back from cross city rivals Milan in the race for Italy's third and final Champions League spot. They currently lie in 6th position, outside even of the Europa League qualifying spots so maybe Zanetti was looking for a little divine intervention.
