The FC Internazionale Milano players met the Pope this morning in Rome before their Italian Cup semi-final tonight against S.S. Lazio.
Inter president Massimo Moratti gave the pontiff a Nerazzurri shirt with Benedict XVI written in gold on the back and also presented him with an almanac celebrating Inter's centenary this year. "For us, this is a great honour," said Moratti. Inter lead Serie A by three points from AS Roma with two games to play.
