Lost and found: Madonna has the Spanish soccer jersey Celta Vigo was searching
for
VIGO, Spain (AP) --- Madonna has answered the call of a Spanish soccer club
that was seeking a long-lost jersey worn by the pop icon more than three
decades ago.
Madonna replied Saturday to a plea for information regarding the whereabouts of
the shirt from Spanish soccer club Celta Vigo with a post on X saying that she
still possessed the garment.
"This shirt is hanging in my archives! I am wearing and representing your team
in spirit!" Madonna said.
Celta had published an open letter to Madonna this week asking if she still had
the baby-blue-and-white Celta jersey she wore during a 1990 concert at its
Balaidos stadium.
Club president Marin Mourio Terrazo wrote: "Over time we came to better
understand what you stood for back then: questioning established norms and
standing up to those who try to tell you what you can or cannot do. At our club
we recognize ourselves in this line of thought. That is why we hold on to the
hope of finding the garment you once wore.
"Do you have it? If you know where it may be, or if you would like to join us
in the search to retrieve it, please contact us via private message."
Madonna's social media post was a reply to a video posted by the club of a
musical rendition of Madonna's 1989 hit "Like a Prayer" performed on the field
of its Balaidos Stadium by a choir of women singers backed by a string
orchestra before Friday's game against Real Madrid.
