📖 2002: the quarter-final Spain never got over

The 2002 red with its yellow collar belongs to an era when Spain were world football's great frustration: a pool of talent, and never a trophy. On the back, the No.9 of Fernando Morientes.

🇰🇷 22 June 2002, Gwangju. Spain against South Korea in the quarter-final. Two Spanish goals disallowed in heavily disputed circumstances, then elimination on penalties. That match remains one of the most argued-over in the competition's history.

🎯 The No.9 of the tournament. Morientes finished as Spain's top scorer at this World Cup. An old-school box striker, in a side that still played very directly — a long way from the tiki-taka to come.

🗓️ The date on the label. 02/02: February 2002. This shirt does come from the batch produced for the tournament, not from a retro re-release. For a collector, that is the simplest and strongest proof there is.

👑 Fernando Morientes — born in Cilleros in 1976, three Champions League titles with Real Madrid. On loan at Monaco in 2003-2004, he knocked out his own club in the quarter-finals and reached the final. 27 goals in 47 caps for Spain.
