Real Madrid wing-back Marcelo says Cristiano Ronaldo is one of his great friends in football.

Marcelo has no doubts they'll still have a great relationship after retirement.

He said, "He's a good friend of mine, it's a pleasure for me to share a dressing room with him. To be able to play with him, exchange passes with him, that's something I'll treasure for the rest of my life. We'll look back on it very fondly in 10 or 20 years' time".

“We've been together for 7 or 8 years. Ultimately, with each training session and each game, it gets easier to know where he wants the ball, and he knows where I like to cross it. That partnership is built over time."
