FERNANDO ALONSO
The cult of two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso in Spain is unquenchable, and often reaches completely unexpected manifestations – such as his depiction in the form of Jesus on the armbands worn by an Alaves footballer.
In particular, football player Asier Villalibre uploaded a photo on Instagram with one of his shingles. Above it is a visual with three photos: one depicting Alonso as Jesus, another of the Spanish F1 champion in the cockpit of his 2005 title-winning Renault, and the third of a dog.
Villalibre, however, is not the only one who portrayed Alonso as Jesus. Many of his compatriots share similar photos, proving that the 42-year-old from Oviedo is worshiped almost like a modern “deity” in his country. Many, in fact, order blankets or even socks in the form of Fernando online.
Unfortunately, in the last match of Alaves, the specific splinters did not bring so much luck to Villalibre, as his team lost the previous Saturday 2-0 to Getafe and he came on as a substitute in the second half.
