UEFA Champions League: Nigerian Pastor Dragged as Inter Defeats Barcelona, Video Trends

• Barcelona's defeat to Inter Milan in the semi-final second leg of the UEFA Champions League on May 6 has got Nigerians talking
• Many Nigerians have dragged Bishop Papa Frank Lloyd of the Light Bearer International Ministries after his match prophecy failed
• The cleric predicted that Barcelona would defeat Inter Milan on Tuesday night, but the Italian titans knocked the Spanish side out instead

Nigerians have taken to social media and dragged Nigerian pastor, Bishop Papa Frank Lloyd, the spiritual leader of the Light Bearer International Ministries in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital.

In a viral video, the cleric boldly predicted the outcomes of the UEFA Champions League semi-final second-leg matches involving Inter Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain.

He stated that Spanish club Barcelona would triumph over Italian side Inter Milan on May 6, 2025, to secure a spot in the grand finale, but this was not the case.

Addressing the highly entertaining reverse fixture between PSG and Arsenal, the self-acclaimed 'commander general of the prophetic kingdom' said it would be the 'final before the final'.

Following Tuesday’s match in which Inter Milan eliminated Barcelona from the Champions League, some Nigerians took to social media to criticise the pastor for his inaccurate prediction.

A social media influencer with the handle @OurFavOnlineDoc took to social media and reshared the video of the cleric after the La Liga giants were defeated, writing:

"Can someone please forward the result of tonight’s game to the Commandant General of the Prophetic Kingdom? Can someone please tell Prophet that the blue jersey he saw, thinking it was Barca, is like Inter Milan."

Nigerians' reaction to Barcelona's loss to Inter

Some Nigerians have taken to the comments section of the video and condemned the prediction. Below are some of their reactions.

Samuel Ajayi wrote:

"Ministers of the gospel should just stick to this gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Not football foretelling, which motivates members to do online betting."

Arinze Odira commented:

"Many of his followers would have played ‘sure odds’ with this prophecy. I wonder what he will tell his followers next Sunday. Will his followers continue to follow him now that his prophecy is fake?"

Uche reacted:

"90 min, Baba go don they speak in tongue thinking say him ticket enter."

Amiable Festy said:

"In a serious society, this false prophecy is enough to close down his ministry for good. But Africans are a bunch of gullible followers."

Adex tweeted:

"Barcelona is a good example of working hard and dying poor."
