As quickly, Roy Makaay scored in Bayern Munich’s clash against Real Madrid - the Madrilenians left defender, Roberto Carlos has announced his retirement from the club side when his contract expires on June 30.
As most form the squad, Roberto Carlos too was immensely criticized by the home fans after Brazil’s early World Cup exit - following which the 33-year-old had called his retirement from international football in September last, however had urged to play on for the Spanish club.
The free-kick specialist struggled to hit the desired form with the club too, being heavily condemned for his performances - citing his poor run Carlos has refused to renew his contract with Real Madrid, thereby entering the shoes of David Beckham and Ronaldo (the other two to quit the club).
After the clubs humiliating exit from the Champions League on Wednesday - Fabio Capello has discharged the defender from the first-team obligations altogether, which indicates Carlos could rarely get an opportunity to play with Real Madrid again.
Carlos isn’t linked with a transfer to any side yet, though he feels returning to Brazil could be an option.
