She was the (pen)last to arrive, but the one who showed her face in the mixed zone of the Butarque de Leganés municipal stadium after the Real Madrid fell to Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. Antonia Silva, one of the new additions to Alberto Toril’s eleven for the title match, was self-critical of her team’s work and the record that White has against their eternal rival.
“It’s a very hard moment, reaching a final and having five goals. But I think that to win the title we first have to be in the final and getting here was already an important step,” said the Brazilian international. “In games against Barcelona you know that they are going to hit the goal many times and we have to be very attentive to everything that comes so as not to receive, for example, goals from set pieces. We have to continue improving,” he added.
Real Madrid has gone two years – and six complete games – without even scoring against Barcelona. “Before thinking about scoring goals we have to find a way to hurt them. It can’t be that in every game we come out with zero goals. It is without a doubt something that we must improve, and also other types of details,” he said.
Having completed the first competition of the course without success, Real Madrid has options in the other three. In the League they are second classified, 11 points behind Barcelona – with one game less –; In the Copa de la Reina they are classified for the quarterfinals, where they will have to face Real Sociedad; and in the Champions League he is also in the top8but He will not know his rival until the draw that will be held on February 7. “At Real Madrid there is no choice but to keep fighting. Maybe today we are a little sad, but tomorrow we have to change our chip because we have the League, the Champions League and we have to keep fighting and improve what happened today,” Antonia concluded. .
