UNL: Brazil legend, Marcelo reacts as Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Portugal national team camp
Former Real Madrid defender Marcelo has expressed his support for Cristiano Ronaldo following the latter’s unexpected departure from the Portugal national team camp during the UEFA Nations League matches.
Ronaldo left the training facility in Copenhagen earlier this week after reportedly having a disagreement with head coach Jorge Jesus. The circumstances surrounding his exit have garnered attention in the football community.
In a show of solidarity, Marcelo posted a photograph on Instagram of himself alongside Ronaldo from their time at Real Madrid. The caption read, “What can I say… @Cristiano.”
Marcelo and Ronaldo’s professional journey began at Real Madrid, where Marcelo joined the club in 2007, two years before Ronaldo’s arrival. Together, they formed a formidable partnership on the field, contributing to a period of unprecedented success for the club in European competitions.
As captain of Real Madrid before his departure in 2022, Marcelo played a key role in the team’s achievements, including three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles from 2016 to 2018. Ronaldo left the club four years prior to Marcelo’s exit, but their legacy continues to resonate among fans and football professionals alike.
