The Vatican confirmed, on Monday morning (21), the death of Pope Francis , aged 88. The death occurred at 2:35 am Brasília time (7:35 am local time), after 12 years at the head of the papacy. Jorge Mario Bergoglio , born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was the first Latin American pontiff and the first Jesuit to hold the highest office in the Catholic Church.
Francis took office in 2013 after the historic resignation of Benedict XVI — the first pope in the modern era to succeed a pontiff who stepped down voluntarily. His papacy was marked by simplicity, empathy for the poor and a call for dialogue between religions and cultures.
A passionate fan of San Lorenzo, a club from Buenos Aires, Francisco was a member of the team and had a curious relationship with the team . In 1998, he was even removed from the locker room by then coach Alfio Basile , who claimed that his presence "brought bad luck" . Years later, the club would win the Argentine title in 2013, the year in which Francisco became pope, and then the unprecedented Libertadores in 2014, feats that many fans began to associate with a " divine touch ".
The great gentleman is Pelé..."
In 2023, in an interview with Italian broadcaster RAI, Pope Francis was asked who he considered the greatest between Maradona and Messi . His answer was surprising: “I put a third: Pelé. They are the three I followed. Maradona, as a player, was a great one. But, as a man, he failed . Messi is very correct, a gentleman . But, for me, of these three, the greatest gentleman is Pelé . A man with a heart…”
Francis also revealed that he had met Pelé personally on a flight to Buenos Aires: “I met him on a flight when I was going to Buenos Aires, we talked. He is a man of great humanity , but all three are great,” the pontiff defined.
In addition to San Lorenzo, the Pope has also received tributes from other clubs throughout his papacy. Flamengo , for example, has presented Francis with a gift on four occasions. The most recent occurred on May 22, 2023 , during a general audience in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican . In April 2013, former president Márcio Braga presented a shirt to the pontiff. A few months later, in July, it was Zico's turn , an idol of the club, to make the delivery. In 2014 , during his visit to Brazil for World Youth Day , fans also presented him with the red-and-black shirt.
The club is accused of using "Clube da Esquina nº 2" without authorization in the advertisement for the number 9, in a video published on social media in January 2025

Singer Milton Nascimento and record label Sony Music filed a lawsuit against Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, alleging the improper use of the song "Clube da Esquina nº 2". The work, written by Milton, Lô Borges and Márcio Borges , was allegedly used without authorization in a video posted on the club's social media in January 2025, during the announcement of Gabigol's signing from Flamengo.
According to information published by the newspaper O Globo, the video was produced and released by Cruzeiro without the proper authorization of the artists involved in the song's creation . Sony Music , which represents the copyright of the work, is seeking compensation for material damages, while Milton Nascimento and the Borges brothers are seeking compensation for moral damages.
The court order stipulates a sum of R$50,000 for each of the songwriters involved . Despite the good relationship between the artist and the Minas Gerais club in the recent past, the lawsuit remains ongoing due to the dispute between the parties.
In 2022, after announcing his retirement from the stage at the age of 80, Milton Nascimento was honored by Cruzeiro at a concert held at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte. On the occasion, the singer received a personalized jersey from the team and a letter describing him as " Cruzeiro's international ambassador ."
The lawsuit highlights the importance of respecting copyright when using musical works, especially in advertising materials and highly visible social media content . Despite the history of tributes, the composers claim that the lack of formal consent for the use of the song violates their rights and compromises the recognition of the intellectual property involved.

Despite not stepping on the court in recent weeks, João Fonseca reached another significant milestone in his career. The 18-year-old rose to 47th place in the ATP rankings , released this Monday (22). The improvement in the ranking came after Marcos Giron, from the United States, dropped 11 places.
This is the best finish of Fonseca 's career, and he continues to break records. He became the 12th Brazilian in history to enter the top 50 since the beginning of the Open Era in 1968. Now, he also debuts among the ten highest-ranked Brazilian tennis players of all time, occupying 10th place , surpassing Cássio Motta, who was 48th in the world in 1986.
João Fonseca hasn't played since July 4th, when he was eliminated by Nicolás Jarry in the third round of Wimbledon. Now, he's preparing for his next match: the Toronto Masters 1000, which will take place from July 27th to August 7th . The tournament is the first major hard-court event of the North American season and serves as a tune-up for the US Open at the end of August.
This year's Toronto Masters will have significant absences. Names like Jannik Sinner , Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Jack Draper have already announced they will not participate in the tournament, prioritizing rest after the intense sequence between Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
The influencer also highlighted the idea of MC Poze, who said that the agents went to the singer's house to destabilize him.

Oruam turned himself in to the police last Tuesday (22) after having an arrest warrant issued by the Court. Thus, this Wednesday (23), the rapper's fiancée, Fernanda Valença, spoke on her Instagram about the reaction of her father-in-law, Marcinho VP. The influencer highlighted that the singer's father "is not happy" with the indictment.
Oruam's bride talks about Marcinho VP's opinion: "Contrary to what many people think, my father-in-law is not happy about any of this news."
She continued: "He and my mother-in-law fought tirelessly throughout their lives for their children to change the family's destiny. However, this never stopped the constant psychological torments they faced over time ," she wrote in an excerpt.
Fernanda further reinforces MC Poze's idea by saying that the agents' intention was to "destabilize" Oruam: "At all costs, they persecute, threaten, make jokes and adopt an aggressive posture until they get what they want, which is to destabilize Mauro so that he reacts exactly the way they always criticize or point out ," she declared.
Hours before presenting himself to authorities, Oruam posted a video on social media: "I'm going to turn myself in, guys. I'm not a criminal, okay? I'm sorry to everyone I wronged, if you thought I was wrong. I'm going to bounce back and win through my music ."
The arrest warrant was issued by Judge Ane Cristine Scheele Santos. Oruam will be charged with drug trafficking, association with drug trafficking, resistance, contempt, damage, threats, and bodily harm.
