Yesterday (Sunday) was a day of many emotions, at times it was the best day of my life, and then became the worst. I am very happy to bring this joy to the whole country. Here is the star that you wanted so much, but we have not only those on the chest, but also those that accompanied us in the sky.
August 20, midfielder of the Spanish national team Olga Carmona scored the winning goal in the final of the World Cup-2023. World champions get a star on their jersey to celebrate the title. On the same day, the 23-year-old football player's father passed away.
The family did not inform Carmona of her dad's death before the final whistle to avoid disturbing the athlete as she prepared for the final match. The Spaniard became world champion for the first time in history.
