Marcelo: “This is a day for joy, not sadness”
“I’d like to thank the club, my teammates, who I’ve been lucky enough to play with during all these years, the coaches I’ve had, the kitmen, who are like family to me, the people who work in the residence, the security staff, those who work behind the scenes and do the dirty work. We just play football, but for us to do it well and have clean clothes there is a lot of work behind it and I want to thank the best club in the world for allowing us to enjoy this. We do what we love and we’ve got everything we need to be able to enjoy it. I’ve made history at the best club in the world and I want to thank everyone who forms part of it”.

“I’d also like to thank my wife, who’s been by my side since I started my career as a footballer and has given me two beautiful children. We’ve built a family together and I am what I am today and have the strength I have today, probably because of you, Clarice”.

Following Raúl’s footsteps
“When I left Brazil I set my sights on playing for a big European team and I signed for Madrid at the age of 18. It’s been a tremendous adventure. Inside I thought I could reach the top and today I walk out of here as the player with the most trophies in the history of the best club in the world. Raúl, who I call capi (captain), was so kind to me when I arrived. You taught me so much as captain and when my son was born, you gave us a basket full of things. I’ll never forget that. I saw you as a captain and an example and I wanted to follow that. I can leave here grateful to you for that”.

Memories
“Today is a day for joy. We’re in tears because we’ve got a lot of emotions and memories. I’m really happy, I’m leaving with my head held high. My family feels proud of me, I’m lucky. I’ve been lucky to have been supported by people who’ve been able to help me go so far. Thank you very much to everyone. This isn’t a goodbye, I don’t feel like I’m leaving Madrid. If one day I come back one and ask for a ticket and I can’t (get one), you’re going to have a problem. When I said at the Bernabéu that we can rest assured about the future of Madrid, it’s because it’s very promising, as it’s always been, and I also include my son, who’s in the youth team. This is a day for joy, not sadness. I arrived as a boy and I’m leaving as a man”.
