Tonight the world said goodbye to a legend, to a footballer who, beyond his sporting achievements, managed to put women’s football at the top in terms of media and resources. Her talent, her connection and connection with the public, her demands for equal pay, her fight to make motherhood visible in sports left an indelible mark.
Alex Morgan He bid farewell to professional soccer this Sunday in an emotional match between the San Diego Wave and the North Carolina Courage, on matchday 19 of the NWSL. The forward played just 14 minutes in his last game in front of thousands of fans who gathered at Snapdragon Stadium.
The former player is pregnant with her second child and left us with some very emotional images on the field holding her little daughter’s hand. Charlie, of four years. Her husband, a former MLS soccer player of Mexican origin, Servando Carrascohe was also not late for the appointment and accompanied her from the stand.
There is only one small ‘but’. Alex Morgan He lived a bittersweet moment when he missed a penalty that could have been his last goal in his illustrious career. This is the perfect cherry on top.
His participation is highly anticipated. In just the 13th minute (the historic number on his shirt), the American left the field to be substituted. His teammates gathered to hug him, his rivals cheered him on, everyone in the stadium gave him a standing ovation and he took off his boots to take his last walk on the field. The tears are of sadness for saying goodbye to the game, but also of happiness and for all he has achieved. A farewell worthy of what he was: a true world legend.
