Marcelo penned a new chapter in his legendary career at Real Madrid. After clinching the Decimocuarta against Liverpool at the Stade de France, the captain now boasts 25 trophies and is the most decorated player in our club's history. His outstanding silverware list includes five Champions League titles, four Club World Cups, three European Super Cups, six LaLiga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies and five Spanish Super Cups.
At the full-time whistle, the Brazilian commented: “I feel great joy and emotion. It's even tough for me to speak because I can see my family and all of my teammates here. The season was what it was and we've deserved it, this is a strange moment in my head. I've won the Champions League five times and never would have thought that I’d achieve that.”
“We were all sweating, running and fighting with the team. These moments are for the young lads, who have just played their first final and are already very mature. It’s a crazy moment, we have to congratulate the fans who have been behind us all the way”, he added.
Ancelotti: “We all know about the coach, he’s got his philosophy and his character. He’s an amazing person and he’s deserved it ever since he came in”.
Future: “Now I’m going to celebrate with my family and my teammates and then we’ll see. I just want to enjoy it for now. You’ll know very soon”.
Despite his words at the end of the match it was clear that the Champions League final victory over Liverpool was Marcelo’s last game for Real Madrid. The club captain is departing the Spanish club this summer, after 15 and a half legendary seasons at the Bernabeu.
