I always felt the confidence of the Club and the dressing room.”
Marcelo and Casemiro

Only those who have been through the same as me know what I’m talking about “
Lopetegui and Solari

New Bernabeu
“It’s going to be incredible. The Club has let us know about the project and it’s impressive. Hopefully when it’s finished all the madridistas can see us win many games in the new stadium. I love it and I dream of being able to play in a field that will be much more than a field
Win the Champions League and Ballon d’Or

Player with the most relationship on and off the field
