Sara ezquerro has been one of the first protagonists of the HBO documentary 'A Real Dream', which tells the story of Tacon on its way to being Real Madrid Women. Madridista since I was a child, the white goalkeeper confesses her great joy at having fulfilled a dream as part of the Tacon project and the future Real Madrid. The footballer, a former Atleti B player, made headlines a few years ago after a photo was published on social networks in which she appeared with María Calvo, also a former red and white player, in the vicinity of the Santiago Bernabéu.
“As a Madrid player to the core, I don't miss a single game. I used to play for Atlético, but I was wearing Iker Casillas' shirt”, begins counting in the HBO documentary Sara Ezquerro. Both she and María, dressed in Real Madrid clothing, were photographed on the occasion of the Champions League final between Atleti and Real Madrid, in which the Madrid club was proclaimed champion for the eleventh time.
“They destroyed my career, but they opened another for me”
The photograph, published by María Calvo, with the message “Kings of Europe”, was the subject of great controversy on social networks and it was also the trigger for Sara Ezquerro's departure from Atlético. And it is that the rojiblanco club decided not to renew it at the end of that season and at almost 18 years old he was left without a team. “Thanks for these years, I assume the decision of the club. I hope that time puts each one in their place, we will meet again, “the player published after announcing her departure from the rojiblanco club.
Years after what happened, Ezquerro recalls for HBO the hell he experienced when he suffered harassment on social networks. The Spanish goalkeeper recounts that she was afraid to leave home after having suffered death threats and of the type: “I hope we see you on the street and rape you”. The Madrilenian overcame those months in 2016 with great anguish and with a happy and very Madridista ending, just as she had always dreamed of. “They destroyed my career, but they opened another for me,” Ezquerro says.
After leaving Atlético, the goalkeeper got the opportunity to play for CD Tacon, a team that from the beginning sought to integrate into the Real Madrid structure. In the club run by Ana Rosell, Ezquerro grew up as a footballer until he earned the position of being one of the members of the first Real Madrid Femenino. In addition, she has been part of the squad that signed the historic promotion to the First Iberdrola, the Madrid goalkeeper won three consecutive leagues in Second.
