Real Madrid’s Marcelo on Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid legend Marcelo shared a great relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo on and off the pitch. The Brazilian admitted that the two got off on the wrong side when they first met but became close once they were teammates.

He said (as quoted by Tribuna):

Marcelo won 25 trophies during his time at Real Madrid and will become a free agent at the end of this month. He made 545 appearances for the club with 38 goals and 103 assists to his name. He developed into one of the world’s finest left-backs at Real Madrid after arriving from Fluminense as a teenager in 2007.

It remains to be seen where the legendary Brazilian heads next.
