Iniesta seals World Cup victory for Spain!

After scoring the goal that clinched Spain's first ever FIFA World Cup success, Iniesta lifted up his shirt to reveal a very special message for a friend who is gone but certainly not forgotten. "Yes, I dedicate this to Dani Jarque," he said sadly, of the former Espanyol captain who died at the age of 26 in August last year. "At these moments you have so many memories running through your head, so many emotions.

"Spain deserved to win this World Cup and it’s something to remember, to enjoy and to feel proud of," he continued. "I'm happy, I'm really happy, that I've been able to score these decisive goals. But the whole team's done an excellent job," he said before being enveloped in hugs by his grateful squad-mates.
