This way it's a fake!
There is a chain letter that is distributed via WhatsApp and also on Facebook, which creates an apparent connection between various events, which ends in the punchline that the Pope should keep his fingers crossed for Madrid in the upcoming Champions League final.
What this specifically means is that whenever a Prince of England gets married and Liverpool wins the Champions League (alternatively the European Cup), something would happen to the Pope. We have already reported on a very similar sharepic , which differs in one point and is therefore not a fake.
However, THIS version is incorrect:

Here's our fact check again!
On the one hand, it assumes that the European Cup is equivalent to the Champions League. Here Liverpool achieved the following successes:
- 1977: 3-1 against Borussia Mönchengladbach (in Rome)
- 1978: 1-0 against FC Brugge (in London)
- 1981: 1-0 against Real Madrid (in Paris)
- 1984: 1:1 a.t., 4:2 i. E. against AS Roma (in Rome)
- 2005: 3:3 a.t., 3:2 i.e. E. against AC Milan (in Istanbul)
- 2018: potentially possible, is in the final
Now a look at the weddings of English princes:
- Wedding Phillip November 20, 1947
- Wedding Charles July 29, 1981
- Wedding Charles April 9, 2005
- Wedding William April 29, 2011
- Wedding Harry (scheduled) May 19, 2018
In addition, briefly the anniversaries of the deaths of the last popes:
- Pius XII October 9, 1958
- John XXIII June 3, 1963
- Paul XI August 6, 1978
- John Paul I September 28, 1978
- John Paul II April 2, 2005
The intersection shows that no pope died in 1981. What this meme means, however: assassination attempts on a pope!
- Assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II on May 13, 1981
- Assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II on May 12, 1982
