“The word is pride, for defending this jersey and this shield. It was also great and very special to play for the national team whilst with Málaga CF. I have very much to thank the team and the city of Málaga for. Thanks to them, I was able to express myself as a footballer as best I could and as best I knew. Fruit of that was receiving the call from the national team to compete in the World Cup and having the chance to debut. It’s a mix of very special feelings”.
The showcase is part of the Malaguista museum tour and includes, as well as a striking replica of the World Cup, the national team kits of the 12 players who whilst with Málaga competed with Spain.
‘Malaguistas in La Roja’
