Olga Carmona Reunites with Real Madrid Women’s Team
Olga Carmona, former captain of the Real Madrid women’s team, is set to face her previous club this Thursday in the Champions League. Just 149 days since her departure on May 20, 2025, Carmona will reunite with her former teammates, marking a significant event in her career trajectory.
Real Madrid Memories
Carmona was a key figure in Real Madrid’s women’s team, having played 186 matches, scored 28 goals, and provided 22 assists. Her departure marked the end of an era, as she was one of the few players to have been part of every season in the team’s history. Famous moments include her penalty goal at Camp Nou, witnessed by over 91,000 spectators, during the 2021-22 Champions League.
Achievements and Recognition
- Ranked 6th for the Ballon d’Or in 2023.
- Included in The Best’s team of the year lineup.
The responsibility of filling Carmona’s boots now falls on Yasmim Ribeiro and Sara Holmgaard, who strive to uphold the club’s ambitious standards.
French Challenge
Olga’s journey in France has been challenging. Injuries sidelined her for her team’s first two matches. Once fit, she claimed the left flank under coach Paulo César. However, the team struggled with heavy defeats against Olympique de Lyon and Wolfsburg, putting pressure on the project’s aspirations.
Upcoming Clash
This Thursday’s match is critical. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) must earn points to maintain hopes of finishing in the top four of the European standings. Meanwhile, Real Madrid sees this as an opportunity to demonstrate improvement since their inconsistent start this season.
Despite leaving Real Madrid, Carmona maintains her loyalty. “I think everyone knows I’m a Madridista and that won’t change,” she stated in an interview. However, on game day, emotions will be set aside as she focuses on the 90 minutes ahead.
