Marcelo puts Fluminense ahead of Real Madrid

Fluminense at the top! This Saturday evening, at the end of a tense and indecisive meeting, the Brazilian club won the Copa Libertadores against Boca Juniors with a score of 2 goals to 1. It is the first continental trophy in the history of the Brazilian club.

Established at kick-off as left-back, Marcelo once again fills his trophy cabinet. After his team’s coronation, the Brazilian defender spoke about what this victory meant to him. The former Real Madrid player places this title at the top.

“Real Madrid will understand. This is my most important club title. This is the team I grew up on. Madrid is in my heart but it’s even difficult to compare with Fluminense,” he declared with emotion into the microphone of journalists.

What is Marcelo’s track record?

So it’s a new trophy for Marcelo. The Brazilian full-back adds the Copa Libertadores to his credit. The 35-year-old has an incredible club record. He has won the Spanish championship 6 times, 2 Copa del Rey, 5 Spanish Super Cups, 5 Champions Leagues, 3 European Super Cups, 4 Club World Cups and now a Copa Libertadores. In the selection the situation is different where he only won a Confederations Cup in 2013 as well as a silver and bronze medal at the Beijing and London Olympic Games.
