"That night, the artist donned a Celta Vigo jersey with [former Celta defender Jose Manuel] Espinosa's number 5 on the back. This moment, captured by photographer Víctor de las Heras, became an iconic image in the history of the club and the city. After the performance, the jersey vanished, its whereabouts unknown ever since."
"Thirty-six years later, the club is launching an appeal to all Celta Vigo fans to help locate the jersey, with the intention of adding it to its historical archives. For Celta Vigo, it is a unique and irreplaceable garment that forms part of its emotional heritage."
"Your image with our shirt has become a myth and is part of the history of Celta that is also written off the pitch. Many see all this as part of the club's cultural significance beyond football."
Celta Vigo is appealing to fans and Madonna to help locate the club jersey the pop icon wore during her July 29, 1990 concert at Balaidos stadium in Vigo, Spain. This performance marked the first major international concert in the city and was part of Madonna's Blond Ambition European tour. The jersey, numbered 5 and belonging to former Celta defender Jose Manuel Espinosa, disappeared after the concert. An iconic photograph captured the moment, making it significant to club and city history. After privately searching for 36 years without success, Celta Vigo has now publicly appealed for information to recover this unique garment for its historical archives. Club president Marian Mouriño wrote an open letter to Madonna explaining the jersey's cultural importance to the club.
