Nothing can replace your most beloved club. Marcelo, one of the toughest left defenders to play the sport, has a strong bond with Real Madrid, where he spent more than 15 years with the club. But after his move away from Madrid, the defender continues to enjoy winning big trophies. But out of all the wins, Marcelo considers the latest one with his country’s club to be the most cherished one.

The Brazilian took the opponents to the cleaners when they came up against him. Known to be a very progressive defender, Marcelo’s contribution to Madrid is something no one can ever undermine. Even though his best trophies have come to Madrid, he remains generous to his childhood club.

Real Madrid can understand, says Marcelo

Despite winning several prestigious trophies with Real Madrid, Marcelo chose the Copa Libertadores title as the most important moment. Marcelo’s Fluminense won a thriller against one of the biggest giants of South American soccer, Boca Juniors in the final. After the game, Marcelo said, “Real Madrid will understand. This title is the most important because Fluminense is the club that raised me. Madrid knows it is always in my heart.”

This is the club’s first-ever Intercontinental Cup, and Marcelo claims it to be a bigger achievement than all his Real Madrid wins. The defender said that his former club knows he loves them, but he etched Fluminense at the center of his heart. The former Brazilian international also regards it as his primary groomer.

The iconic dribble against Bayern Munich in the Champions League 2017 to provide Cristiano Ronaldo with the assist was just an example of how unselfish Marcelo was. The game, however, was a thriller with a 1-1 deadlock at full-time. However, the 21-year-old forward’s strike helped Marcelo celebrate the most anticipated moment of his career.

The most successful player at Real Madrid

Known for his exemplary ball control and skills, Marcelo came to Real Madrid in 2007. That was just the beginning of a legendary career, which saw him win 25 trophies subsequently. These include 5 UEFA Champions League titles, 6 La Liga titles, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, and 2 Copa del Rey trophies.
