The white comeback drives them to the semifinals of the Copa de la Reina on May 24.
The Colombian Linda Caicedo had another great game with the Real Madrid shirt against Levante, once again showing that she was a different player and assisting the goal that gave the white club a 3-2 win, in a comeback that boosted the Real Madrid for the semifinals of the Copa de la Reina on May 24.
After a difficult start to the match for Toril’s team, Real Madrid led by Linda Caicedo and Caroline Weir was able to turn around a 0-2 deficit that Levante put on the scoreboard in the first 12 minutes.
Together with the midfielder, Linda carried Real Madrid to victory in the league. The sixth in a row for a team with a guaranteed place in the Champions League and with the semifinals of the Copa de la Reina against Athletic Club just around the corner.
After 20 crazy minutes, Real Madrid took control of the ball and Caicedo enjoyed more balls. It was Toletti who opened the scoring for White in the 28th minute after a spectacular backheel from Weir in the box that the Frenchwoman finished off from the ground.
If there is one thing that characterizes Real Madrid, it is its historic comebacks, and in the second part Linda and hers were clear about it. Athenea gave a great pass to Caicedo, which she passed through to Savava and which the winger crossed to the penalty spot for Caroline Weir, who defined to equalize the score.
Again Linda, four minutes later, grabbed a ball from midfield to run down the wing to the Levante area and assist Weir so that she put the ball into the rival squad. In this way Linda already has 4 assists in the League with Real Madrid since his arrival at the white club in February.
The former Deportivo Cali player revolutionized the game again and participated in most of Real Madrid’s dangerous plays. Her quality and speed showed once again that she is a different player.
Paula Tomás, the right side of Levante, suffered more. Despite being a fast player, Linda always seemed to be one step ahead of her, reaching the box with ease and scaring the granota defense with her presence in the last meters.
The whites will finish second in the league no matter what happens in the last league game against Real Sociedad, due to the 11-point advantage that separates them from Levante. With that second place they make sure they participate in the Champions League, thus being the first time that Linda will play this European competition.
The Colombian is the undisputed starter in this team, and since her arrival no one thinks of a Madrid without Linda running down the wing. Now the objective is the Copa de la Reina, the goal is to win the first women’s Real Madrid title as well as the first for the Colombian with the white shirt.
