I missed the European Cup finals between Liverpool and A C Milan earlier this week. Doesn’t look like I missed much but as I browsed through reports in the Guardian and Soccernet, here is something that caught the attention of ever perceptive Richard Williams:
Kaka, incidentally, reacted to the final whistle by heading for the centre circle, where he went down on his knees and raised his arms to heaven. Having stripped off his shirt to reveal a T-shirt bearing the message I Belong To Jesus, he remained in that posture for a good two minutes while his team-mates enjoyed more conventional and collective forms of celebration. While acknowledging the general excellence of the way Kaka appears to conduct himself as a player and as a man, one can only wonder what the reaction would have been if the shirt had said Allah Is Great. (emphasis mine)
Indeed.
