The blip in Marta’s career was Olympic gold. The Brazilian legend entered the field to overcome that imperfection in Paris. But it didn’t happen. I had to be happy to win silver once again. Brazil lost 1-0 to the United States in the final of the Paris Olympics. With that, Marta is saying goodbye to football without any great success.

Both teams were favorites in the final. The United States was ahead because the event was the Olympics. They had the record of winning the most gold in women’s football in this tournament. This time he won and took it to five. On the other hand, Brazil’s gold remained elusive. This time they got silver three times. Losing in the final each time to USA.
