Real Madrid's Brazilian defender Marcelo, who on Saturday played his last game with the Merengue team, after lifting the 14th Champions League title over Liverpool at the Stade de France.
The Brazilian full-back leaves the Casa Blanca as the player with the most titles in its history (25): "with great joy and grateful to the fans" and the magical nights" lived at the Santiago Bernabeu, he said at the end of the match.
He leaves as a legend
"It's a very nice moment. When you are first captain you dream of lifting the cup and I have become the only Brazilian to lift a Champions League as captain of Real Madrid," he said after stopping the honor of lifting "la orejona" even without having participated on the field.
The news, however, is not the end of the Brazilian's career, who at 34 years of age will be looking to continue his career elsewhere. Despite being a historic member of the team, Marcelo retained his humility, explaining that he feels like just another member of the team:
"The emotion is brutal, it was my last game with Real Madrid. But I am very happy. It's not a day of sadness, I'm leaving with a lot of joy, grateful to the fans and the magical nights I've experienced at the Bernabeu."
Marcelo's titles with Real Madrid
Marcelo will officially say goodbye to the Merengue fans this Sunday at the team's official celebration in Madrid, which will conclude at the Fuente de la Cibeles, the traditional venue for Merengues titles.

5 Champions League

Congrats to Marcelo, and thanks Real made the dream come true for him, I'm really sad we were unlucky to win this CL final despite the fact we played really well. I was hoping we'll manage to beat real this time but it turned out not to happen. Real isn't a team that is easy to win, their trophies and history speaks for itself. The road they took to the final and how they won it, shows it was destined to be theirs this year, but we Liverpool hope we can bounce back from the defeat and go again, and hopefully if we meet Real again one day we we'll fight and do our best. Congratulations to Real for winning and we Liverpool we move on YNWA.....see you guys in the Champions League next year
