Rafael Nadal Ends His Career. Real Madrid Reacts
Rafael Nadal has played his final match on the professional tennis courts, leaving fans, journalists, and rivals alike bidding him a heartfelt farewell. The football club Real Madrid also paid tribute to him with a post on social media.
On Tuesday, a great legend of global sports ended his career. Rafael Nadal said goodbye to the tennis tour with a final appearance in Malaga, where the Davis Cup Finals are taking place. His career is adorned with the biggest trophies, including 22 Grand Slam titles.
Tennis fans, media representatives, and on-court rivals are all paying homage to Nadal. Sports clubs have also joined in, with Real Madrid—Nadal’s favorite football team—making a statement.
“Dear Rafael, thank you for everything,” read the post from “Los Blancos” on the platform X (formerly Twitter). The message quickly garnered numerous comments and likes, with fans noting that Nadal has, in many ways, become a global ambassador for Real Madrid.
For several years now, there have been discussions about Nadal potentially becoming the president of Real Madrid. For the moment, the club is managed by Florentino Perez, who has often expressed his deep admiration for Nadal.
“I am convinced that he is the greatest Spanish athlete of all time. It’s not just about his love for Real, but his sporting achievements and social contributions,” said Perez in December 2018, when Nadal’s foundation received a prestigious award for its charitable work.
