The campaign underscores the deep connection between the local community and international pop culture, particularly how historical moments like this concert can resonate decades later.
In the lead-up to a recent match against Real Madrid, Celta de Vigo's president wrote an open letter to Madonna, inviting her support in the search for this elusive shirt.
