The Last Ride for a Legend

Make no mistake about it, Brazil has played its heart out to make it to the gold medal game for Marta.

Ineligible to play in the quarterfinal and semifinal games due to a red card received in the last group stage match, Marta watched as her teammates defeated the host country, France, then systematically picked apart the favored Spain for a 4-2 victory.

Midfielder Angelina spoke about the motivation Marta's sendoff has provided her and her teammates. "Honestly, in these games Marta was out, we did it for her. We want to give her a really great send-off. It was a dream of mine to play with Marta – and now it's a dream come true. To do it the final in the Olympics, it's just perfect."

The legendary player announced her retirement from international play at the end of 2024 this past April.

The midfielder is among the most decorated players to lace a pair of cleats yet she is playing in her sixth Olympic Games and third final but has yet to win the gold medal. In fact, for as associated with soccer as Brazil is, it has never struck gold in this tournament, falling just short on numerous occasions.

She can change that narrative, bringing the top prize in the competition back to her country and putting the final touches on a career that ranks among the best ever.

It would be a suitable conclusion to an international career that saw her establish herself as a star on the pitch, with 13 Olympic goals and 17 World Cup goals.

She has also been an influential figure off the field.

Away from the field, Marta earned the reputation of a woman fighting for equality in the sport, lobbying for support for the women's game.

She was significant to the growth of the sport she dedicated her life to. There is an entire generation of women who are seen, respected, admired, and beloved today because of her efforts to bring attention to what they do.

She even penned a piece to her peers and the young girls around the world who will carry on the sport well beyond her in The Player's Tribune.

Regardless of the outcome of Saturday's game, Marta leaves the sport better than she found it.

A true icon of the game.
