<p>Last week, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcelo-real-madrid-brazil-legend-announces-retirement-from-professional-football/blt0b6679b2951a33d3#csd84862a2cd6459d3" target="_blank">Real Madrid and Brazil icon decided to hang up his boots</a> at the age of 36. In an emotional video announcing his retirement, Marcelo expressed gratitude for his time in the game. Five days after bringing the curtains down on his illustrious professional career, the defender has now revealed his future plans. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking on the Antena 3 programme <em>El Hormiguero</em>, the full-back said: "I did everything I had to do in football, thank God I didn’t have any serious injuries, I played in the best team in the world and had the best teammates. I won some things, but there comes a time when you need new challenges; I’m not tired of football, but I wanted to do other different things too.</p><p>"I always played football with joy and not with responsibility. I always saw it as something to have fun, but there comes a time when you have to live. I took very good care of myself as a professional. It’s difficult when the time comes to decide that you’re not going to play football anymore. The first one to know was my wife. I needed more time with my family."</p><p>He added: "I’m going to take them to school, hang out more with my wife. Now I have more time to sit in an office, read and send emails. I want to get into art, music, make movies with my wife. I’ve loved music since I was little. I know some singers and I would really like to produce a song for them, make a beat. It would be a dream for me."</p>

WHAT MARCELO SAID

<p>Marcelo’s career has been nothing short of exceptional, with the Brazilian winning five Champions League titles and securing six La Liga championships during his tenure with Los Blancos. With the Selecao, he won the 2013 Confederations Cup.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While the 36-year-old has talked about spending more time with his family, he also revealed in his retirement video that he will continue to contribute to football in future.</p>
