Real Madrid left back Marcelo leaves the club after 15 years and he leaves as the most decorated player in the history of Real Madrid. The Brazilian left back said goodbye to Real Madrid in a teary farewell attended by club legends, Manager and fellow teammates.
Marcelo started by saying:
“Wearing Real Madrid’s shirt is beautiful. I did what I had to and I’m very happy. My family is proud of me.”
“When Real Madrid knocked at my door I had no doubts. Here, you live special moments. I always say that to the youngsters to enjoy because there’s nothing better than Real Madrid.”
“I won 5 Champions League unbelievable. I played 4 finals but I felt more important this season. I had good talks with Rodrygo, Militao, Valverde on the bench. The best thing was talking to them, hugging them during the final.”
“I will always support Real Madrid, wherever I will be.”
Marcelo’s best Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo penned a heartfelt message to Marcelo on Instagram. Cristiano wrote:
“More than a teammate, a brother that football gave me. On and off the fields, one of the biggest stars with whom I had the pleasure of sharing a locker room. Go with everything on this new adventure, Marcelo!”
Marcelo then replied to Cristiano on his Instagram:
“My life partner!!! Thank you very much.”
Marcelo and Cristiano shared a beautiful 9 years at Real Madrid and Marcelo was one of the first teammates to know about Ronaldo’s departure from Real Madrid.
The two shared an extremely close bond on the pitch and outside the pitch. May be we can hope to see these two light up the left wing of the football field once again in the future.
Both are my favourites
