Marcelo says goodbye to Ronaldo: When I retire, I'll sit at the bar and tell our stories LaLiga - Real Madrid Emotional letter to his friend

Two days after the news of his departure to Juventus became public, Marcelo has said goodbye to his friend and now ex-teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Real Madrid left-back demonstrated the special relationship between both players with a very affectionate message.

"Who would say it, Cris! It's time for you to go soon...

"I swear I did not imagine that day would come! But nothing in this life is forever, I hope you are very happy in your new club.

"It has been almost 10 years at your side, 10 years of joy, good football, victories, defeats and wonderful moments! I've learned a lot from you, your dedication is the strangest thing I saw in an athlete.

"Everything must be good for you and your beautiful family!

"I'm going to miss our talks before the games, when you got the results right and when before the finals you reassured us with your experience and the love you gave to the youngest ones!

"I am proud to have played with you, not because you are the best player but because of who you are.

"When I stop playing I will sit at the bar to have a beer, tell several stories and show all our photos.

"Saying goodbye, #M12"
