The Spanish National team’s “7”and also of FC Barcelona, David Villa, has written a new page in the history of his brilliant personal and professional career, after scoring last Friday and against Chile. He broke the match with a sensational shot from 40 meters away and this way began the path that would lead Del Bosque’s team to the next round in this World Cup of South Africa.

The Guaje has become with his sixth goal (three in Germany 2006 and three in South Africa 2010) the top striker in history for the Spanish National Teal in the World Cup and is only three goals away from becoming the top striker in the history of the “reds”, with his 41 goals in 55 international matches.

“becoming part of the history of the national team is a pride for me and I’m really happy, but only because my goals have been of use. I always prefer my team to win than to score”

“Being behind Raúl and near him is a great honor. I wish I can continue scoring goals, but not only to become the first in the list, but to help Spain and achieve successes”

The Guaje, who was prized with the golden boot in the Austria and Switzerland Eurocup after scoring four goals and despite not playing the last two matches because of an injury, can continue increasing his results on Tuesday at 20.30h against Portugal, where Spain will play his first “all or nothing” against the Portuguese, in what is considered as one of the best matches to be seen in this competition. From this match in Green Point, in Cape Town, we will have the team that will be in the quarter finals, following the steps of Germany, Argentina, Uruguay, Ghana and Holland in the last run to the finals.
