The Pope is a certified Chicago White Sox fan. During a rally in the Vatican on Wednesday, Pope Leo XIV took a brutal jab at the Chicago Cubs, which had fans on social media going bonkers and losing their minds.

In a clip that went viral on social media, the Pope was seen riding in his convey and waving to the crowd in Rome. During this, a member from the crowd would chant “Go Cubs!“, seemingly trying to throw a jab at the head of the Catholic Church.

The Pope, who is a massive White Sox fan, did not let this slide. He would take a playful jab at the heckler and threw a shade at the Cubs, the cross-town rivals of the White Sox.

In the video, he could be heard saying, “Han perdido! They lost!” He was seen smirking while saying this. Check it out below:

While the White Sox had another disappointing campaign this year, they at least finished with a better record than the one they had in 2024. The AL Central side went 60-102 this season, way better than their 41-121 record in 2024.

The Cubs, on the other hand, reached the postseason for the first time since 2020. They took down the San Diego Padres in the National League Wild Card Series, but lost in Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Tucker was traded away to the Cubs despite drawing some heavy interest from the New York Yankees earlier this year. Despite missing some games due to injury, the 28-year-old was one of the top performers for the Cubs this year.

In 136 regular-season games, he batted with a .266 average while hitting 22 home runs and having 73 RBIs. In the postseason, he went 7-for-27 with one home run to his name.

Tucker is expected to hit the free agency market this offseason and is rumored to land a big deal. On Wednesday, he took to his Instagram account and dropped an emotional note and thanked the Cubs fans for their support throughout the season.

Thank you Chicago for riding with us all year long! Y’all’s support was there no matter what and we couldn’t have done it without you. #FlyTheW
