“Ever since I was little I’ve been a Real Madrid fan, despite my dad’s passionate fondness of Atletico, hence I’ve celebrated both these teams successes along the years,” she wrote.
I’ve played for Atletico Feminas for the last three seasons, proudly defending the Rojiblancos colours , showing excitement and commitment in every match or training session.
“I’ve cried at our losses and celebrated the triumphs in that jersey, proudly representing Atleti in the Madrid regional squad and on the Spanish national team.

“There are lots of top level players in the football world who defend their colours with the utmost grit and sacrifice even if they happen to be supporters of a different team.
“We are supposed to cheer on the team that enables us to play this sport. I acknowledge I made a mistake and I’m willing to accept the consequences.
“I must say that I never gave consent to my friend to post that picture. It was taken before the match, so we were not celebrating anything as the outcome of the clash hadn’t been decided. I’m just 17-years-old, yet another young victim of incorrect use of social media.
“I hope my case helps those who may find themselves in a similar situation. I’m now paying for my mistake, as Im seeing my face in the media and I’m enduring all sorts of personal attacks. I now understand that one must be a professional for 24 hours a day, both on and off the field.
“To offend the Atletico fan base was never my intention and for that I am sorry. I offer my most sincere apologies to all Rojiblancos who may have felt upset with the picture, especially in a moment of deep sadness and disappointment as it was.”
