The pastor during church service
A Nigerian pastor has become the target of intense online mockery after his “divine” prediction about the UEFA Champions League semifinals dramatically unraveled.
In a sermon delivered to his congregation, the pastor confidently declared that he had received a vision showing Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona reaching the final, with the Spanish giants ultimately lifting the trophy.
But football, as always, had other plans.
Barcelona came heartbreakingly close to the final but were stunned in a dramatic second-leg showdown by Inter Milan.
The Italian champions, trailing 3-2 on the night and 6-5 on aggregate, pulled off an unforgettable comeback.
With just minutes to spare, 37-year-old defender Francesco Acerbi smashed home a crucial equaliser before substitute Davide Frattesi sealed the win in extra time with a sublime finish, securing a 7-6 aggregate victory and sending Inter to their second final in three years.
As the final whistle blew, social media users turned their attention to the pastor, unleashing a wave of hilarious and scathing commentary.
“He will come back to say he was referring to the 2095 Champions League, not 2025,” one user quipped.
“Drop his number, we for touch am small,” another chimed in.
“Make we call this man come ask am if he no wear glasses that day e see what he talk,” a tweet read, accompanied by laughing emojis.
Some even joked that church members should “invest in a better prophet,” while others questioned which “god” had sent such a misleading vision.
Despite the backlash, the pastor has yet to issue any clarification or follow-up prophecy.
