But before all that happened, in the 70th minute of the match, when the ball was already out of play, the television cameras focused on Marcelo in the stands with his children. Among them was Enzo Alves, who plays in Real Madrid’s youth ranks, from Cadete A to Juvenil B, where he has been called up this season.

During the break in play, they started checking their mobile phones until Liam, the youngest, informed them that they were being shown on the stadium cameras.

Like any fan, Marcelo and Enzo smiled at the screen while pointing, until the former Real Madrid defender turned around and waved to the fans.

At that moment, Marcelo felt the warmth of the Santiago Bernabéu once again. For the next few moments, the fans at the Real Madrid stadium forgot about the match to focus on one of their great legends, giving him emotional applause.
