THE DREAM CAME TRUE. During the 2018 vacaction , Valdes fulfilled one of his dreams, "Pájaro" took the opportunity to travel to Italy, where he played for 13 years  and he didn't miss the opportunity to visit Pope Francis, who would be visiting Chile next week. On the occasion, the midfielder posted photos with the Pope at the Vatican. And to the delight of the whites, he managed to get the Pope to autograph his Cacique jersey. "An unforgettable day and an unforgettable jersey!!! For a lifetime," Valdés posted.  Pope Francisco was always close to the soccer, being known San lorenzo's fan.

HISTORY BEHIND. The player's story with Pope Francis began long before, he says. "I had a mutual friend with the Pope, a friend who was a fan of Lecce, the club where I played. I was fortunate enough to see him up close on other occasions in informal situations in Rome. In fact, in 2016 the Pope sponsored the "peace game" where I was also with him and was able to participate in the event. I was fortunate. I always wanted to have the Pope's signature on a shirt of my beloved Colo Colo. I did it and this is the right time to share, through Dream Auctions, this treasure with a real fan of Colo Colo or the Pope."
