As Colombia faces Messi's Argentina in the Copa America final, one of the country's biggest stars has turned to God
Colombian star Juan Cuadrado has taken to the pulpit to preach the gospel even as his country prepares to face Argentina in the final of the 2024 Copa America.
Cuadrado preaches the gospel
The former Chelsea and Juventus star was spotted on the pulpit of the New Life church in a viral video as he expressed his passion for the gospel to an audience.
Cuadrado is the latest footballer to openly preach after former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino was also spotted on the altar of a church and was reported to have been ordained as a pastor.
Cuadrado misses Copa America final
Unfortunately, Cuadrado would only be able to help support his country in prayer, not on the pitch as he misses the Copa America final through injury.

The ex-Fiorentina star was unable to recover in time for the tournament after suffering an Achilles tendon injury at the end of 2023, which limited him to only three appearances this calendar year so far.
