Cristiano Ronaldo has paid tribute to his "brother" Marcelo after the Real Madrid icon bid an emotional farewell to the Bernabeu on Monday.
Ronaldo and Marcelo forged a strong bond during the 37-year-old's trophy-laden stint at Los Blancos and have remained close ever since. Marcelo has racked up over 540 appearances for Real and won a staggering 25 trophies - more than any other player in the club's illustrious history.
But after playing a bit-part role under Carlo Ancelotti this year, the 34-year-old is set to move on in search of a new challenge this summer; bringing his remarkable 16-year spell in Madrid to an end.
