Olga Carmona reveals to whom the goal that gave Spain the World Cup was dedicated: "I put on her shirt"

Spain is world champion and its players continue to celebrate in style the incredible feat that has made the entire country vibrate and which has many hidden details that continue to come to light, especially by the champions.

Olga Carmona, in addition to being the creator of the goal that has given the first star in the history of women's football for Spain, has also revealed a precious detail that she had as soon as she introduced the ball into the back of the net.

Before the microphones of La 1 and almost unable to contain her emotion, Olga explained that after scoring the goal, she lifted her shirt showing another inside with a written name: Merchi.

“I want to dedicate this goal to a friend who just lost her mother, that's why she wore her shirt, Merchi. He goes for her, ”he said, making clear her incredible heart at a time like this.

The image has gone around the world along with Olga's happy face for having scored the great goal crossing a low shot that neither the England defense nor the goalkeeper could reach.

In addition, many have compared its precious detail with the mythical message left by Andrés Iniesta when he also scored the decisive goal in the 2010 World Cup final, honoring the late Dani Jarque.
