Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 at the Stade de France on Saturday night, with Vinicius Junior scoring the game’s only goal to give Real Madrid their fifth Champions League trophy in the last nine seasons.
On Sunday, the players celebrated their victory by taking the trophy on an open-top bus tour of Madrid, which included visits at the Almudena Cathedral, regional government headquarters, City Hall, Plaza Cibeles, and the Santiago Bernabeu.
Marcelo took the lead in the celebrations, crying as he was presented to the fans inside the stadium. The Brazilian has been with Real Madrid since 2007, and he is set to leave this summer after winning his fifth Champions League trophy.
“Thank you very much for the magical nights we have lived here.”
