“More than a teammate, a brother that football gave me,” Ronaldo posted.
“On and off the pitch, one of the greatest stars with whom I had the pleasure of sharing a dressing room. Go for it all in this new adventure, Marcelo!”
Other messages included former teammates and captains, with Marcelo having donned the armband for his final season at the club.
