Thanks to his participation in the Spanish Super Cup final won against Bilbao on Sunday, Marcelo has become the most successful player in the history of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid got the better of Athletic Bilbao (2-0) on Sunday night at Al-Riyadh to win the Spanish Super Cup. A triumph that the Merengue must have savored a lot and in particular Marcelo. The experienced Brazilian defender only participated in the last four minutes of the game, but it was enough to contribute to this coronation. And be considered the winner of this trophy. His 23rd with a club in the Spanish capital. It now has 5 Spanish championships, 4 Champions Leagues, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 2 King’s Cups and 5 Spanish Super Cups.
Marcelo aims for 25 trophies
23 titles with the Merengue, it is quite simply a record. Before him, only the illustrious Paco Gento had done so well between 1953 and 1971. The international auriverde notably exceeds his ex-teammate Sergio Ramos, who left for PSG last winter, by a trophy. The 33-year-old left-back could in turn leave next summer after fifteen years at the club, but he will do so with his head held high and with the certainty of having written the history of this great club. By next June, he can also hope to enrich his CV with two new trophies: a 5th C1 and a 6th Liga.
