In the tenthdespite not being the owner, Marcelo Vieira he converted one of Real Madrid’s goals. In the eleventh, scored in the decisive shootout. During the twelfth, gave a spectacular assist to Marco Asensio. And in the thirteenthput the assist on Gareth Bale’s exquisite overhead kick.
The Brazilian was decisive in the first 4 UEFA Champions Leagues he won with the biggest club of them all. However, the most special, in which he felt most important, was in The Fourteenth. The fifth of him. Yes, in which he did not play.
He saw no activity, but was more of a leader than ever. He felt useful because he chatted with his younger teammates and he genuinely believes that he contributed to them. He had a different role, but that’s not to say he didn’t feel valuable in the European Cup for comebacks and endurance.
THE CHAMPIONS IN WHICH MARCELO FELT MOST IMPORTANT
“I have talked a lot with my relatives and I have told them that I have won 5 Champions, okay. My goodness, 5 Champions! Something amazing, yes. I have played the 4 finals, the first 4, and the last one I have not played. And so this was the final where I felt the most important. How? I felt more important because I had a 5-minute talk with Rodrygo on the bench. He looked at me like that, scared. It is this. I had a talk with Militao before the game, with Valverde. I have not done this in the other 4 finals. I don’t know if I explain myself.”
“It’s very nice to play, very nice to score a goal, give an assist, appear in the videos. But, for me, the most beautiful thing was when I had the talk with the kids, when there were 3-5 minutes left and we were all there hugging each other, even though I didn’t touch the ball. I think that is the legacy I want to leave behind. Not Marcelo’s images have been the best of I don’t know what, Marcelo has won I don’t know what. Not that. The internal. That young people understand that everything is possible. And when you know where you are, it’s much better than we think”, were the words of the South American genius in his farewell ceremony from Real Madrid.
Undefeated data. Marcelo Vieira is the only Real Madrid footballer who has won 25 team titles. The biggest winner of the biggest club that has ever existed.
Did you know…? Marcelo Vieira (546) is the second foreigner with the most appearances in the entire history of Real Madrid. He is only surpassed by Karim Benzema (605).
