Borja Iglesias has been crowned world champion with the Spanish national team after winning the 2016 World Cup in the grand final against Argentina at the New York-New Jersey Stadium. This title allows Spain to display its second star, sixteen years after the historic victory in South Africa in 2010.
In this way, the sky-blue striker becomes the first Celta player to reach the pinnacle of world football and the first Galician footballer to be crowned world champion. A historic milestone that fills the entire Celta family with pride and takes the name of Celta and Galicia to the highest level of sport.
A joy shared by a player who represents much more than just football. El Panda embodies values with which all sky-blue fans identify: his approachability, humility, commitment and courage. He is one of us. A footballer who has never stopped being himself and who has shown that success is also achieved by being true to who you are.
The name of Borja Iglesias now belongs forever in the history of Spanish and world football. But also, and above all, to the history of Celta.
Congratulations, Borja. Congratulations, world champion!
