Marcelo Announces Retirement
Former Real Madrid left-back Marcelo announced his retirement from professional football on Thursday after a trophy-laden career.
The 36-year-old spent 16 years at Spanish giants Madrid, winning six La Liga titles and five Champions League trophies. “At 18, Real Madrid came knocking on my door and I arrived here,” Marcelo said in a video posted on social media. “Now, I can proudly say that I am a true ‘Madrileno’. What a journey. Real Madrid is a unique club.”
Marcelo made 58 appearances for the Brazil national team, playing at the 2014 and 2018 World Cups and winning the 2013 Confederations Cup.
He was part of the teams that won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics and bronze in Beijing in 2008.
