“What you were saying maybe, off camera, I think it’s difficult for your country to have so much affection for you, but for you to come to another country and they treat you like that, thank you very much”
After Márquez’s words, Josep Pederol, host of the program, pointed out that Spain also became the “home” of the Mexican defender, to which he replied, “I think so.”
Emerged from the basic forces of Atlas, Rafael Márquez began his way through Europe at AS Monaco, to arrive at FC Barcelona in 2003, wearing the Blaugrana shirt for seven seasons, obtaining 4 league titles, 1 Copa del Rey, 3 Super Cups of Spain, 2 Champions League, 1 European Super Cup and 1 Club World Cup.
