A few weeks ago Mario Goetze announced that he would be auctioning off the boot which won the World Cup for Germany this summer.
It is, according to German newspaper Bild, “the most famous shoe in the world” - and now it's also the most expensive as an anonymous bidder paid a staggering €2 million - that's £1.6 million - for what is a unique piece of memorabilia.
The Bayern Munich playmaker scored the only goal of the game as Germany triumphed over Argentina in Rio, and the Nike boot which volleyed the ball into the corner of the net has now made a huge contribution to Goetze's nominated charity, Ein Herz fur Kinder (A Heart for Children).
"Two million is such a huge sum, the good thing is that it's for a good cause and not just for a boot," Goetze told Bild.
