Real Madrid faces a decisive month: League, Cup and Champions

Real Madrid kicks off next March 1 (7:00 p.m.), against Alhama, a month with a lot at stake. The pass to the quarterfinals of the Copa de la Reina will be played against the Murcian team in a first test that will warm up engines for what is to come also in the League and Champions with a very tight schedule. And it is that those of Toril will have matches every three days during these next few weeks, in which a lot will be played in three competitions.

“We arrive with great desire and enthusiasm for the big games that we are going to face”, Athenea assured yesterday after her great national team break with Spain, from which she returns as ‘MVP’ of the Arnord Clark Cup. “It helps you to see that the work done over the years has paid off. I want to continue working day by day to be better” , continued the Cantabrian winger, who was motivated by the intense stretch of matches this coming month: “Every footballer likes to play every three days. What makes you happy is competing.”

In the national championship, the whites seek to continue their climb (they are eight points away from the Champions League positions) and they have big events ahead of them against direct rivals in Europe such as Athletic (March 6), Atlético (March 9), Granadilla (March 19) or Levante (March 27). In the meantime, you will also have to visit the almighty Barça (March 13) at the Johan Cruyff stadium.

It will not be the only confrontation against the azulgrana team, which will also be measured this March in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The first leg will be at the Di Stéfano (March 22, at 9:00 p.m.), leaving the return leg at the Camp Nou on March 30 (6:45 p.m.)with a match that points to the world record for attendance in a women’s match after having sold some 85,000 tickets.
