Real Madrid paid a vibrant tribute to an Iberian sports star.
It’s the week of tributes for Real Madrid. After the officialization of Andrés Iniesta’s retirement at the age of 40 this Monday, October 7, where the Madrid club released a press release to salute the former FC Barcelona midfielder, it is Rafael’s turn Nadal, another legend of Spanish sport, to be honored by the Merengue.
The 38-year-old tennis player announced this Thursday that he would end his career next November, after the final phase of the Davis Cup. His decision was followed by a laudatory message from the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, who paid tribute to the man with 92 titles, including 22 Grand Slams.
“Rafa Nadal is also a source of pride for our country and an example of the essential values of sport, with which he has forged his entire extraordinary career,” commented the Blancos boss. A statement that will surely not fail to touch the king of clay, a fervent supporter of Real.
