Michelangelo Prez, the child to whom lvaro Morata dedicated the goal that qualified Spain for the World Cup in Qatar, has died after fighting a brain tumor. This was communicated by the Spanish Football Federation, very aware of the boy’s health since they knew his story, in the previous one of the transcendental Espaa-Sucia that was played in La Cartuja last November.
Miguel ngel had the opportunity to meet in Seville Unai Simn, Morata and Pablo Sarabia. The three footballers gave him their shirts (Sarabia the one he used against Greece, with a goal included) and the boy responded by handing them a wand with a star, a symbol of the Little Wish Foundation, which helps children with illnesses with a poor prognosis. Morata took good note and prepared everything to pay tribute to him in the match.
The striker was clear that if there was a goal it would be for him and he gave the star to one of the team’s doctors so that he would give it to him in case of scoring. I didn’t want it to get damaged by sticking it in the shin guard. The fact is that in the 86th minute, Morata scored the goal that classified Spain for Qatar and raised Miguel ngel’s star to the sky over Seville. “The really important things. One of the most beautiful goals to score in my life. It goes for you, Miguel ngel,” Morata wrote at the end of the game on his social networks.
