"Marcelo is one of the most decorated players of modern times, having won five Champions League and six La Liga titles during a 16-year stint at Real Madrid, when he pulled on the famous shirt more than 500 times. Touted as the heir-apparent to fellow Selecao icon Roberto Carlos, Marcelo would go on to become one of the greatest left-backs of all time, earning 58 Brazil caps where he was often found marauding down the left-hand side."
"Marcelo kicked off his career with Fluminense in 2005, with his impressive early performances turning heads at the Bernabeu, as Real Madrid spent 8million to bring him over to Europe in January 2007. He would quickly establish himself in the first-team and soon began stacking up trophies. In 2021, he was handed the captain's armband, making him the club's first foreign skipper since 1904 and would leave the Spanish capital after 15 years at the end of the 2021/22 campaign, having lifted 25 trophies"
