Athenea del Castillo, one of Spain’s most talented footballers, has shared a deeply emotional confession about her private life, revealing a side far removed from the glamour of fame.
In an honest and vulnerable statement, the 24-year-old athlete said:
“Men don’t approach me, they don’t try me. They see me as unattainable — and no one is unattainable. We are all equal, each has our own value, and we deserve respect equally. I’ve never believed myself to be more than anyone just because I’m known. To be honest, I don’t like this celebrity status. At my age, I’m still single. Sometimes, I cry alone in my bed at night. It hurts.”
Her statement has since gone viral on social media, sparking waves of empathy and admiration from fans and supporters worldwide. Many praised her courage to speak openly about the pain of loneliness despite being a public figure.
Some online users even jokingly encouraged single men to “shoot their shot,” calling her words a rare and humble “public invitation.”
Athenea is widely respected for her skill, work ethic, and humility, but her confession proves that fame does not shield anyone from emotional struggles and the universal desire for genuine love and connection.
