Iris Seeks Redemption in Granada

Iris Ashley Santiago aims for redemption in Granada after facing a red card against Wolfsburg in the Champions League. The Real Madrid B forward, aged 18, has made significant contributions since her debut with the senior team under coach Pau Quesada. She hopes to make amends for her previous dismissal in the upcoming match.

Iris Ashley Santiago and Her Journey

This Saturday, Iris hopes to redeem herself after being sent off during a European match. Her teammates, Laia López, Silvia Cristóbal, and Irune Dorado, are also in the lineup. The young talents from “La Fábrica” have become pivotal in a Real Madrid squad dealing with key player absences.

Current Challenges Faced by Real Madrid

  • Absences include Frohms, Antonia Silva, Toletti, Teresa Abelleira, Bruun, and Lakrar (suspended for Champions League).
  • Upcoming European match against Twente scheduled for Wednesday at 21:00.

Iris, a native of Villanueva de la Torre in Guadalajara, has played 278 minutes, scoring two goals—one against Athletic and another against Alhama. She looks to improve these stats at Los Cármenes.

Granada’s Competitive Nature

In the lead-up to the match, Quesada highlighted Granada’s strengths. He noted their solid five-man defense and ability to transition effectively. The match is expected to be a challenge, especially with players like Laura providing threats in the offense.

Granada currently sits in the 11th position in the league, having accumulated 13 points from 13 matches. They are on a four-game winless streak, prompting coach Irene Ferreras to seek a turnaround.
