But she warned: ";You should look out for Lewandowski and Zielinki for sure."
The Poland supporter admitted she was hesitant not to attend the World Cup at first as "football emotions often win over reason".
But she eventually decided she would skip the tournament and a chance to see her beloved side.
Marta explained: "I decided not to go to Qatar where human rights are not respected, people with football have as much in common as I do with the spaceship, all that matters is money and only money.
