Maximum glory for Real Madrid
He fully revealed his strong football potential when playing for Real Madrid from 1996 to 2007, the greatest club of the 20th century according to FIFA. Over 11 seasons, he played 584 matches, scoring 71 goals. With his participation, the team reached the podium of the Spanish Championship four times and triumphantly became winners of the prestigious UEFA Champions League three times. He later joined an elite group of just nineteen footballers in the world who have played more than 100 League matches.

But it's not just about the numbers. In addition to his athletic prowess, what really set Roberto Carlos apart was his infectious enthusiasm and unwavering positivity, like a ray of sunshine on the field. It seemed that Real could turn the tide of any game in their favor, even in a seemingly desperate situation, thanks to Carlos' fighting spirit. He had an incredible ability to inspire his teammates and give them confidence to win, making him an invaluable asset to the Royals.

Furthermore, he won the love and respect of fans not only for his talent and physical prowess, but also for his simplicity and practical nature. Despite his busy schedule, he always made time for his fans, participating in conversations, signing autograph sessions that seemed to last for hours, and generously handing out his t-shirts or boots as souvenirs.

In fact, in 2013, respected Spanish sports newspaper Marca named Carlos as the greatest foreign player in Real Madrid's history. And that's right! He was a true legend on and off the field.https://roberto-carlos.net/
