Easter Sunday is here, and to celebrate one of the main dates of Christianity, OneFootball thought of a selection with only players with names related to religion.

Check out our sanctified XI!

Goalkeeper 🧤

Juan Musso (Atlético de Madrid) – Juan is John in Spanish, the name of one of Jesus' main apostles

Defense 🧱

João Cancelo (right-back, Al-Hilal) – Well, we went with our Portuguese version of the apostle!

Jesús Vallejo (center-back, Real Madrid) – Do you want something more Christian than being named Jesus?

José María Giménez (center-back, Atlético Madrid) – José, simply the man who raised the child Jesus... and Maria, the mother of Jesus!

Ángelino (left-back, Roma) – The name comes from "Ángel", angel in Spanish

Midfield 💭

Mateo Kovačić (Manchester City) – Mateo comes from Matthew, in English, or our good old Mateus, the Evangelist, Saint Matthew, one of Jesus' apostles.

Francisco "Isco" Alarcón (Real Betis) – Francisco is the name of a saint, Saint Francis of Assisi, and is also the name of the current Pope. What a Easter combo, right?

Christian Eriksen (Manchester United) – Christian comes from Christianus, literally, Christian, in Latin.

Attack 🔥

Igor Jesus (Botafogo) – Not much to say, right?

Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal) – Not much to say, right (2)?

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr) – Not much to say, right (3)? 😅

Coach 👨🏻‍🏫
