Marcelo, the fullback for Real Madrid, has announced his departure after winning a record-breaking 25th trophy with the Spanish giants.
On Saturday, the LaLiga champions defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the Champions League final.
Marcelo was an unused substitute in Madrid’s win in Paris, yet he was named team captain and lifted the trophy.
With his contract set to expire next month, the 34-year-old indicated earlier this week that he wanted to stay at the Bernabeu.
“It’s an incredible emotion because it’s my last game at Real Madrid,” he told reporters in the mixed zone after the game.
“Leaving with a Champions League is a huge joy. It isn’t a sad day.”
