Olga Carmona has been one of the great protagonists of the women's soccer World Cup that Spain has conquered thanks to a magnificent goal of hers to put the team's first star in its history, although a few hours ago she also experienced one of the hardest moments of her life.

Shortly after celebrating her world championship, Olga Carmona learned that her father had passed away, very hard news for the soccer player that has led her to share an emotional message that was widely applauded on social networks.

“And without knowing it, I had my star before the game started. I know that you have given me the strength to achieve something unique. I know that you have been watching me tonight and that you are proud of me. Rest in peace, dad," he posted on Twitter.

Although Olga's father died just before the World Cup final, the player did not find out about the fateful event until after the final whistle that proclaimed Spain as absolute champion.

Olga Carmona's message was filled with messages of affection, mourning and a standing ovation for the beautiful words for her late father, among whom was Andrés Iniesta: "A lot of strength, champion", the player responded.

During the historic final, Olga Carmona had already launched a beautiful dedication when celebrating her goal with a very special shirt: “I want to dedicate this goal to a friend who just lost her mother, that's why I was wearing her shirt, Merchi. He goes for her ”, she had explained on La 1.
