Marcelo (and the Madrid of winternianas)

A cycle is coming to an end, a cycle that I want to start in 1996. For the first time in almost 30 years, the brazilian flag will not wave (metaphorically) on our left side.

Forever, because it is very difficult to reach his longevity and importance, we will already miss that Brazilian side, first Roberto and then Marcelo, who has identified our team... since we had 6 European Cups, now 14.

Today we say goodbye -through the big door- to the Captain of our club. He leaves as the most successful player in our history, loved and beloved by the fans. A love that he returns by being a regular at Valdebebas, from the lower categories: a madridista like few others have been.

Thanks for everything Marcelo https://twitter.com/realmadrid/status/1536075869126479874

There will be time, we will do it for many years, to remember his plays, his importance. Today I wanted to bring a reflection on the Madrid that we are no longer.

Here, now, we enjoy good planning (finally) that is paying off. A European champion Madrid, and at the same time young, and that has been reinforced with Rudiger and Tchouameni. More cement.

When Marcelo arrived, and Marcelo has just been Great, Madrid had to readjust at Christmas. Those years of Calderón, so memorable for not let it happen again. The most notorious thing was bringing Lass and Huntelaar, and not being able to register them properly in Europe.

It is a reminder that being Real Madrid is no guarantee of being in the European elite if it is not accompanied by good management. We must value what we have fortunately Marcelo fulfilled and surpassed his destiny "to be the successor of Roberto Carlos". Roberto himself was involved in making him come, grow, not stop believing and finally exploit his potential https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egHvwOX1dtk < p style="text-align: justify;">And, without a doubt, the best thing Marcelo has done in recent years is knowing how to leave. Accept his last role, and be able to leave with the memory of Cibeles in his retina, and today's farewell with the president.

You are too big, Marcelo. Eternal
