Tribute: Andres Iniesta celebrates the winning goal by revealing a shirt paying tribute to Dani Jarque, a Spanish defender, who died from a heart attack last year.
As Andres Iniesta scored the 116th-minute goal that helped Spain to its first World Cup victory, he took the opportunity to pay tribute to a colleague who passed away before the start of last season. In front of a TV audience of more than 750 million, the Barca star removed his shirt to reveal the message "Dani Jarque siempre con nosotros," which translates to:
Dani Jarque always with usEspanyol defender Jarque suffered a heart attack before a pre-season game in Italy in 2009. He never played club football with Iniesta, but they were the same age as they rose through the Spanish national team ranks.
The diminutive midfielder may have earned a yellow card for the gesture, but what better way to pay tribute to a lost friend.
