Marcelo, captain of Real Madrid, announced that he is leaving the white club after the Champions League final against Liverpool in which Ancelotti’s men won the fourteenth title of the highest continental competition.
“It’s an incredible emotion because it’s my last game at Real Madrid. I’m leaving Madrid and leaving with a Champions is an immense joy. It is not a sad day. I believe that things are discussed, we have discussed and We have decided that it is better this way. I’ve already done everything I had to do at Madrid. I’ve been lucky enough to spend fifteen and a half years at the best club in the world”.
The player with the most Real Madrid titles, Marcelo, went through the microphones of Movistar Plus just after the match.
What goes through your head?: “Joy, emotion… It’s even difficult to talk, because I see my teammates, family members… The season has been what it has been and we deserved it. I don’t know. It’s a weird moment in my head right now.”
Weird, why?: “Because it’s weird. I have five Champions and in my life I thought I could be at this moment, that I could win a lot of things. It’s all very weird right now.”
He suffered a lot during the match. Is the joy greater?: “The joy we have [Ancelotti interrumpe la entrevista para abrazar al capitán y dice: ‘Yo no me lo creo, ¡eh!’]… These are moments like this that are rare. We were all sweating on the bench, running with the team… I remember the youngsters who have played their first final, who are very mature… It’s a crazy moment with the fans, who have been with us all the time”.
What is the value of having a coach like Ancelotti?: “We already know what the coach is like. He has his philosophy, his character… He is a great person and he has deserved it since he arrived”.
Will lifting the Cup be your last image with Madrid?: “I do not know. Now I’m with my family and my colleagues… I didn’t even have to be talking to anyoneI had to enjoy it, but nothing, you will find out very soon”.
