Africa-Press – Botswana. Real Madrid made Marcelo’s departure official this Sunday, as he had already announced after winning the European Football Champions Clubs’ League.
Given the weight of the player in the team in recent years, team captain, and the one with the most titles in Merengue history, the farewell will not be with a simple goodbye on social media.
The club scheduled for today, at noon, a press conference and an “institutional act” of homage, with the presence of the president Florentino Pérez.
The 34-year-old left-back says goodbye to the club, where he arrived in 2006, aged 18, with 25 titles: six Leagues, five Champions Leagues, four Club World Cups, three European Super Cups, five Spanish Super Cups, two Copa del Reyes.
He also comes out as the second foreigner (he also has Spanish citizenship) with more games, behind Benzema: he has 545 and the Frenchman 605 and counting), reported the Portuguese sports newspaper O Jogo, in its online edition.
