Ex-Real Madrid captain given a 'welcome home' arrival by fans

Former Real Madrid left back Marcelo was given a 'welcome home' party at his arrival in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday.

Fans of Brazilian giants Fluminense, club where he was revealed to the world and where he played before joining the Spanish giants, were awaiting for him and his family at Rio's international airport.

Marcelo has signed a two-year deal with Fluminense.

The 34-year-old Marcelo terminated his contract with Olympiacos.

He was only five months into a one-year deal.

He played nine matches for the Greek club and scored three times.

Marcelo left Real Madrid last year as the club's most decorated player.

In 15 years, he won 25 trophies, including five Champions Leagues and six La Ligas.

Marcelo is expected to play as a midfielder at Fluminense.

He was part of Brazil's squad at the 2014 and 2018 World Cups.
