It’s not easy – when you have to accept that the birth certificate is merciless and that the end has to come. For full 15 years, Marcelo was one of the pillars of Real Madrid – hey, 15 years at the Royal Club! – but the Champions League final with Liverpool will be his last game for Los Blancos.Don Carlo’s mission – Stop the Klopp!It has been speculated before, but the cameras of Movistar Plus+ television dispelled the last suspicion by catching the Brazilian in a conversation with Lucas Vasquez on the bench during the match with Betis in the last round of the Primera.’The club is not going to renew me,’ he is seen telling Vazquez. ‘I have been a f***ing example!’ said Marcelo, not so much annoyed as disappointed, but aware that it is time to say goodbye to the club he joined in 2007 from Fluminense for only 6.5 million euros.🚨| During the game against Real Betis, the cameras caught Marcelo saying to Lucas Vazquez: “The club is not going to renew me… I’ve been a f***ing example.” @marca pic.twitter.com/Zxqlvn978F— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) May 26, 2022 In the meantime, he became the most trophy-winning player in the history of Real Madrid! He won four Champions Leagues, four World Club Championships, three European Super Cups, six Primera titles, two King’s Cups, and five national Super Cups. Something to be proud of.However, at 34 he is no longer the same player.

And it will not be the only departure from Real Madrid this summer. Gareth Bale is just waiting to see if he will qualify for the World Cup with Wales or end his career. Apparently, Isco will not get a new contract either, Betis would gladly take him.What will Marcelo do next? We’ll see.
