Earlier in the day, Marcelo announced his retirement from football at the age of 36.
Marcelo won literally every trophy he contested but most notably he won big at Real Madrid where he formed a deadly partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo.
After Marcelo announced his retirement via Instagram, Ronaldo wrote this for the Brazilian defender.
“My brother, what an incredible career! We’ve lived a lot together, it’s been years of achievements, victories and unforgettable moments. More than a teammate, a partner for life. Thanks for everything my friend I wish you all the best in this new phase of life.

Ronaldo’s message shows the bond between both players. It almost seem like they were blood brothers.
