The boot with which Mario Gotze struck the FIFA World Cup™-winning goal this year has raised €2m for the German charity event "A Heart for Children", the organisers have revealed.
The 22-year-old Bayern Munich star donated to the charity the left boot with which he scored the only goal, in extra-time, aginst Argentina and seal Germany's fourth World Cup title in Brazil.
All of the money will go to the German charity which helps disadvantaged children.
"That is overwhelming, I would have never dreamed of such a figure," Gotze told German daily Bild. "Two million is such a huge sum, the good thing is that it's for a good cause and not just for a boot."
