In just 4 years of history, Real Madrid has become one of the reference teams nationally in the Spanish women’s league. Since it was officially founded in 2020, and the CD Heel will take the name and form of the white entity, they have passed many proper names and references for his benchamong which stands out that of one of the most emblematic players from the merengue team, Kosovar Asllani. One of the club’s top scorers, whose legacy already has been equaled by one of the players of the moment, Athenea del Castillo.
The Swedish forward was linked to Real Madrid since before the club took the name of the white entity, but since the merengue team signed its name, Asllani played up to a total of 51 games, in which he managed to concede 23 goals.
A figure that, to date, has only been surpassed by Esther González (39), the top scorer of the white club, Caroline Weir (28) and, now equaled by Athenea del Castillo (23), after the young woman managed to break the wall of the Chelsea FC, on Matchday 5 of the UWCL, despite the fact that his goal, which tied the matchit would not serve to score points.

The student equals the teacher
This milestone is even more special for Solares, since, in addition to becoming, at only 23 years old, one of the top scorers in the history of Real Madrid, She has also managed to live up to the Swedish woman’s legacy. Since the relationship between Athenea del Castillo and Asllani It was always differentially special and, proof of this, are the words that they dedicated to each other after saying goodbye to the Nordic woman. “I have taken the first steps, it is your time to continue, my daughter,” commented the Swede through an Instagram post. A message that the Cantabrian answered, through the same platform, a few days later:
“I wish you all the luck in the world in what the future has in store for you ????I feel privileged to be able to have one of my references close to me and above all to be able to learn from you day after day ???? I hope that the princess ???? will soon be be a queen ???? Thank you for this year Mommy ????????”
The Cantabrian takes the reins of a Real Madrid without Asllani, Esther or Weir
The veteran left the Real Madrid last summer of 2022, when he announced through his social networks that he would leave the club to “continue his story”, as he expressed through a video, via Instagram, with a brief compilation of his best moments as a Real Madrid player. before signing for AC Milan.
Therefore, the absence of the “queen”, which gave rise to the replacement of her “heir”, as they are known by the fans and in the social media environment, meant a generational change in the ranks of the Real Madrid, despite the fact that, after the loss of the then “9” from the white bench, they were Esther González and above all, Caroline Weirwho carried the team on their backs in offensive work.
Since, between the two of them, they managed to raise the scoreboard up to a total of 50 goals throughout the season. Despite the fact that González stopped counting for his coach in the last stretch of the 2022/2023 season.
