On the afternoon of last Sunday, October 5th, Corinthians faced Always Ready from Bolivia in the second round of the group stage of the Conmebol Libertadores Feminina, at the Nuevo Francisco Urbano Stadium, and won by a score of 11 x 0. With this result, the Alvinegro took the lead in Group A with four points.

Midfielder Letícia Monteiro, who scored two of the goals in the match, was asked about competing in the international tournament for the first time wearing the Corinthians jersey, as well as scoring for the club: “It's always good to score with this family, especially in the Libertadores. Only I know how important it is for me, my growth here. I was very happy once again to be able to participate. Even more so with this team, which is huge and has already won several Libertadores. I am very happy“, she began.

In 2024, Letícia Monteiro had competed in the Libertadores Feminina with Internacional, where she was named the revelation of the last Brasileirão in the category: “In the past, when I was here, of course, we wanted to win (with Internacional), but it was something that seemed far away. Corinthians seems to be getting closer to being in every championship we play“, she continued.

Finally, she projected the match against Independiente Santa Fé from Colombia, next Wednesday, October 8th, at 8 pm (Brasília time), for the third and final round of the group stage of the Conmebol Libertadores Feminina. The Colombian team occupies the third position in the group with three points: “The best (expectations). We needed the victory today to approach the next game even more confidently, and we will seek the victory”, she concluded.

With a contract until December 2027, Letícia Monteiro has accumulated nine goals and five assists in 32 games (13 as a starter), with 23 wins, six draws, and three losses – a 78% success rate. So far, she has won the 2025 Brasileirão, against Cruzeiro, in Itaquera, in the final.
