The deep bond between Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and Fluminense’s veteran left-back Marcelo Vieira is evident to all.
These two superstars, who once defined an era on the left flank of one of Real Madrid’s most devastating attacking teams in the club’s history, share a bond that extends beyond the confines of the football field.
Even after their time together at the Spanish giants, both players occasionally honor one another by imitating one another’s goal celebrations or spending time together off the field.
Despite the fact that both of these football legends left the La Liga powerhouses to play for other teams, their bond has endured.
In the most recent instance of their unwavering connection, Ronaldo congratulated his pal Marcelo on winning the Copa Libertadores with Fluminense, the team he grew up playing for.
Reports state that Marcelo was crucial in helping Fluminense upset Boca Juniors of Argentina and win their first-ever Copa Libertadores championship. Marcelo’s team won their first Copa Libertadores title with to goals from John Kennedy and Germán Cano, even though they were reduced to 10 men.
The 35-year-old celebrated his team’s win on Instagram by sharing a picture of his family holding the Copa Libertadores trophy along with the message “Doze Family.”
Ronaldo’s remark stuck out among the countless responses to the post and attracted a lot of attention. “Parabens Crake” was inscribed by the Al-Nassr captain beneath Marcelo’s post.
This gesture by the Portuguese superstar has once again highlighted the flourishing friendship between the two.
It’s important to remember that Marcelo responded to Ronaldo’s first championship victory with Saudi Pro League team Al-Nassr with a same display of support.
