“My brother, what an incredible career! We have lived a lot together, it has been years of achievements, victories and unforgettable moments,” He said.
“One of the greatest left-backs in Real Madrid and world football history, and we had the privilege of watching him for a long time,” said Real Madrid president Florentino Perez in a statement.
