The constant work, the desire for transcendence and never giving up paid off this Saturday afternoon at the Steel Giant. Blanca Felix reached 200 appearances under the three Red and White goalposts and became the first Chingona to have that number of appearances with the Rebaño Sagrado.
If we had to describe the goalkeeper from Sinaloa in one word, it would be HISTORIC, since with her outstanding performances and constant demonstrations of love for Deportivo Guadalajara, she has earned the affection and respect of the ChivaHermanos, who have made her name resound in every stadium in Mexican women's soccer.
The No. 12 defended the goal for the first time in a match against Santos, on matchday 6 of the 2017 Apertura, and she couldn't have done it in a better way, as she collaborated by keeping a clean sheet in the 6-0 win over the Laguneras. A season that began on the right foot could not end any other way after the goalkeeper was key to Chivas Femenil lifting the first championship trophy in the history of Liga MX Femenil.
This is how legends are born, who from their first appearances show that which makes them different from the rest of the players, with actions that allow them to leave a mark in the memory and heart of those who follow them closely, and the guardian of the Rebaño Sagrado has that special angel, which match after match is manifested with saves, saves, touches and screams.
Although she already enjoyed the affection and recognition of the Rojiblanca Nation, 2022 was her year of consecration as one of the team's leaders, as her contribution was vital for the club to be able to set different records. It should be remembered that at that time, Blanca Félix's saves were key for the Chingonas to win their two most recent titles: the Clausura 2022 and the Champion of Champions of the AP2021-CL2022 season. In addition, her performances were fundamental in setting the Liga MX Femenil's all-time record for best defense, with only 6 goals allowed in CL22.
And as if this were not enough, we should also consider her record of games won, as she has 114 on her shoulders, a record within the reach of very few players. Undoubtedly, the words to refer to Blanca María Félix Castro fall short and surely, she still has many more pages to write with golden letters with the team of her love.
