Salomón Rondón's Bold Ambition: Aiming for Real Madrid in the Copa Intercontinental Final
Salomón Rondón, the talented Venezuelan striker for Pachuca, has expressed his unwavering focus and ambition as his team prepares for the upcoming Intercontinental Cup clash against Botafogo. Ahead of the match, which kicks off a new chapter in this prestigious tournament, Rondón revealed that Pachuca is setting its sights on one clear goal: to face Real Madrid in the final.
Rondón's optimism is contagious. The 34-year-old forward, who has been in superb form this year, reflected on his exceptional run, which coincides with the finest moments of his career. "I’m enjoying the moment to the fullest, and I think it shows in my nomination for the 'Best' award," Rondón shared. "It’s true that I've been playing non-stop for two years, and at my age, that’s quite surprising. But my desire to play and win remains as strong as ever, and it reflects in the way I play on the field."

This recognition comes at a time when Rondón has been pivotal to Pachuca's dominant run in the Concachampions and Liga MX. His leadership both on the pitch and in the locker room has earned him not only accolades but also the admiration of his teammates. "The nomination for The Best award is a reward for all the hard work and collective success we’ve achieved. It makes me proud and thankful to my teammates and everyone who has supported me, both at the club and the national team level," he continued.
Looking forward, Rondón and Pachuca are determined to secure a place in the final of the Copa Intercontinental, a tournament that pits the champions of two major continents, and possibly take on Real Madrid. Their first challenge is to overcome Botafogo, followed by a potential encounter with Al Ahly, the African champions. “Our main focus right now is the Intercontinental Cup. We are giving our best to reach the final and face Real Madrid. That would be a dream come true for me and for the whole team,” Rondón stated, eyes firmly set on the prize.
While the chance to meet Real Madrid is a tantalizing prospect, Rondón knows there’s still much work to be done. Even if they don’t meet the Spanish giants in the Intercontinental final, Pachuca is guaranteed to face them in the Super World Club Cup in mid-2025. However, for Rondón, the priority remains clear. “We’re focused on the Intercontinental now. There will be time to think about the World Club Cup later, but facing Real Madrid in this competition would be a special moment, one I’ve always dreamed of since my days with Las Palmas and Málaga,” he shared.
With his determination, experience, and relentless drive, Salomón Rondón is leading Pachuca on a path that could culminate in a historic showdown with Real Madrid, a match that would not only define his career but also elevate the Mexican side to a new level on the world stage.
