Sometimes a simple piece of sports gear becomes a treasure. That is exactly what happened with a pair of cleats worn by star striker Gabigol. These boots, steeped in recent football history, fetched an amazing price at auction. They sold for more than 16,000 euros, proving the immense value fans place on such items.
These were no ordinary cleats. They were specially crafted for a specific match, a goalless draw between Cruzeiro and Flamengo. The design told a story itself. On the back, a blue and red heart stood out. These colors perfectly represented the two Brazilian clubs Gabigol played for during his professional career. He also once played for Benfica in Europe, adding another layer to his rich history.
The lucky winner of these unique cleats was Lucas Tylty. He is a well-known influencer on social media. Tylty kept his followers updated, sharing pictures of his offers as the auction went on. His excitement was clear for everyone to see.
The money raised from this sale will do a lot of good. It is all going to the ‘Craque do Amanhã’ project. This organization runs a sports school in São Gonçalo. The funds will help young, aspiring athletes chase their dreams. It shows how one special item can create a ripple effect, changing lives for the better.
