Former Real Madrid full-back, Marcelo Vieira recently revisited his ex-club, continuing his leisurely break from the game.

Marcelo’s journey with Los Blancos began when he arrived in 2007 as a relatively unknown teenager from Fluminense, swiftly stepping into the shoes of Brazilian left-back legend, Roberto Carlos, despite struggling in his early days.

Surpassing expectations, Marcelo became Real Madrid’s most decorated player, boasting an unparalleled collection of 25 trophies, a feat unmatched even by iconic figures like Alfredo Di Stefano, Raul Gonzalez, Sergio Ramos, and Cristiano Ronaldo during their tenures, per Forbes.

Following a remarkable 15-year stint in the Spanish capital, the 35-year-old embarked on a brief spell at Greek club, Olympiacos before experiencing a fairy-tale return to his childhood team, Fluminense.

His return saw the Rio de Janeiro-based club clinch their inaugural Copa Libertadores victory last year, triumphing over Boca Juniors in a final that oscillated between chaos and drama, as cited by ESPN.
