After helping his club lift the La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2021/22, Marcelo announced his exit from Real Madrid earlier this month. Since joining Los Blancos in 2007, the 34-year-old made 546 appearances for the club.
Carlos, who spent 11 years in Madrid from 1996 to 2007, recently opened up about the comparisons between him and the departing defender on radio station Onda Cero.
He added:
The 49-year-old set-piece specialist reminisced about Marcelo’s initial days at the club.
He continued:
What next for Marcelo after Real Madrid?
With 25 trophies to his name, Marcelo is the most decorated player in Real Madrid’s illustrious history. But after making just 12 appearances in La Liga last season, the exit was always on the cards.
The skilled left-back has said that he is still undecided about his future but has outrightly dismissed the possibility of hanging up his boots. He has hinted that he wants to keep playing in Europe, preferably at a club that will play in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
