Celta de Vigo reaffirms its connection with music. If they recently had C. Tangana for a spectacular centenary anthem, this week they tried to get Madonna’s attention, appealing to her concert at her stadium in 1990.
It was the night of July 29 of that year when the artist took the ‘Blond Ambition Tour’ to Balaídos, one of the most influential in history, given its theatrical concept. Madonna wore the Celta shirt with Espinosa’s number 5 on her back and the photograph of Víctor de las Heras is part of the history of the club and the city, according to the team itself.
Celta 2026 are desperate to locate the shirt and add it to their historical archive. That is why they have made an appeal and have opened a website to collect data on their whereabouts. They have even appealed to Madonna, in case Madonna knew something about where the aforementioned t-shirt is. Even last night they paid tribute to the singer with a performance of ‘Like a Prayer’ before a match against Real Madrid.
Celta lost 1 to 2 last night. However, the group has consolation: Madonna responded this Saturday when it seemed very unlikely. This week he was supposed to shoot a blockbuster music video. Even so, he has had time to write in X: “That shirt is in my files. I’m wearing it and I’m with your team in spirit.”
It’s hard to believe that Madonna has good memories of that night. In 1990 the artist was at her peak. He had just published ‘Vogue’, its umpteenth world number 1. If Madonna remembers anything from that year in Spain it would have to be her well-known dinner with Almodóvar in Madrid, in which she unsuccessfully tried to hook up with Antonio Banderas, captured in the film ‘Truth or Dare’. ‘In bed with Madonna’, for friends. But the concert in Vigo was a complete failure.
Although the local press usually remembers the event with affection, care and a lot of curious photos, only 23,000 tickets were sold in a venue for 40,000 after a few years of glory that Madonna was about to summarize in the compilation ‘The Immaculate Collection’. There are those who say that tickets were not put on sale with enough notice, there are those who remember that Prince was performing the same night in A Coruña. Too close. It seemed that Madonna would not remember the evening with such grace, but according to her words.
