A 2010s football icon – David Villa – visited the Rafael Nadal Academy this week to give the 22-time major champion a special World Cup final shirt.
Villa was named in the FIFPro World XI and UEFA Team of the Year in 2010 and also won the Super Cup and Club World Cup with Barcelona in 2011.
Tennis legend Rafael Nadal has expressed his gratitude after receiving a match-worn World Cup final shirt from a 2010s football icon.
Starting his career at Sporting Gijón, Villa enjoyed notable success in the 2000s, clinching Copa del Rey trophies with Real Zaragoza and Valencia, while he was also part of the Spain team which won Euro 2008.
But his career went to the next level in the following decade as he firmly cemented his legendary status, helping Spain to World Cup glory in 2010.
