Spanish club Celta Vigo has launched a public appeal to locate the jersey worn by Madonna during her 1990 concert at their Balaidos stadium. The pop icon donned the team's number 5 jersey while performing on July 29, 1990, as part of her Blond Ambition European tour, marking the first major international concert in Vigo.

The club has been privately searching for the iconic garment for years after it vanished following the performance. The jersey, featuring former defender Jose Manuel Espinosa's number, became an enduring symbol of the club's history. Photographer Víctor de las Heras captured the moment, creating an image that has resonated with fans for decades.

Celta president Marián Mouriño has written an open letter to Madonna, explaining the jersey's significance to the club's identity. The team plans to dedicate a gesture of affection during their upcoming home game against Real Madrid, hoping to recover the irreplaceable piece of their emotional heritage for their historical archives.
