Known for blending culture, charisma, and Christianity, the actor-pastor first caught the eye of football fans with a passionate pre-match prayer for Manchester United during last season’s faceoff against Tottenham.
That clip has now made a comeback on social media, reigniting belief among fans that higher powers might favour the Red Devils once again.
In his now-viral video, Pastor Jimmy calls for strength, unity, and victory for Manchester United.
Fans have praised the pastor for bringing “faith to football” and offering spiritual support during one of the club’s most challenging periods in modern history.
A battle of redemption in Bilbao
For Tottenham, this is a chance to end their 16-year trophy drought, with their last piece of silverware coming in 2008, while for Manchester United, it is a shot at redemption and a first European title since 2017, per BBC.
Both teams have endured a torrid domestic campaign, losing a combined total of 39 games in the Premier League.
As they head into this £100 million final, fans from both sides are desperate for a trophy. But with Pastor Jimmy’s prayer fueling Manchester United’s spirit, many believe they might just have a divine edge.
Whether faith will be the deciding factor remains to be seen. But one thing is clear—this final will redeem the winner’s poor domestic campaign.
