Aymeric Laporte has had a luxurious detail with the members of the Spanish team, current European soccer champion. The former Athletic footballer wanted no one, neither players, nor members of the staff, nor the rest of the people who accompanied them to victory, to forget those 45 days that they lived together before Carvajal raised the title to the skies of Berlin.
Hence, he gave them a personalized gold brooch, as revealed by the team’s official account. In a video of less than a minute you can see the cases. They have the inscription: “European Champion, 2024” and have four stars. Inside the gifts, personalized, with a plaque. Álvaro Morata, and his number, 9; Dani Olmo, the 10th. Remiro, Raya appear… All those called up, including Nico Williams and Dani Vivian; Simón is not there, injured.
And he himself explains his initiative. «I’ve been thinking about it for a while, even before reaching the final. I have always liked to remember historical moments such as the Euro Cup. For me it is the best thing that has happened to me in my career. I wanted to have a detail with all the people who have been involved in this moment. We have been together for 45 days. I am very excited to share it with all the people, not just with players… With staff, security, and other people. And that’s how I felt during the Euro Cup, that we are a family.
Laporte was one of the essential pieces in La Roja’s victory in the Euro Cup. He was one of Luis de la Fuente’s regulars. A fixture in the defense line of a formation that knocked down England in the final, and before that left the host Germany in the gutter.
