“Today is the happiest day since I’ve been in Madrid because as I leave I realise I’ve left a legacy,” Marcelo said.
He added: “I did not want to stay for another year or two out of pity.
“I’m always going to support Real Madrid and together we’ve decided to leave it well, and through the front door.
“I don’t feel like a legend. Life doesn’t end here. I’m going to continue playing. I believe I can continue but I’m not thinking much about the future.
“The most difficult thing is to say goodbye. To put on this shirt has been the most beautiful.”
