Marcelo has five Champions League trophies to his name, but the Brazilian says the biggest achievement of his career is winning the Copa Libertadores with Fluminense.

Copa Libertadores with Fluminense, the most important title in Marcelo’s career

Starting in the final with Boca Juniors (he was substituted at half-time), Marcelo spoke about how important the title with Fluminense was to him.

“Real” will understand. This is my most important title at club level because it was the club that brought me up.

I won a very important title with my favorite club, a club that gave me all the tools for my career, with a staff that saw me grow. There is nothing more satisfying than that. It is priceless.

I had a debt to Fluminense. It was written that we will win the Copa Libertado” – Marcelo (35 years old), quoted by ESPN.

The Brazilian defender spent 16 seasons at Real Madrid, during which time he won 5 Champions League trophies, 6 La Liga titles, 5 Spanish Super Cups, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups and 2 Spanish Cups.

Only 15 players have won the Champions League and the Copa Libertadores. Among them are Ronaldinho, Neymar or Julián Alvarez.
