Hello I just wanted to ask if you know what can I do or what do you suggest after my MacBook Pro retina screen cracked and I called apple to ask for a replacement and they told me is gone cost about 450£ I don't even know if it is worth it that amount...
 
Depends on which MBP you have. The older ones are relatively easy to do a self-service panel swap. iFixit has really nice guides.

The newer ones I believe use adhesive to hold the screen assembly together. To swap the panel, you have to use a heat gun or (if you're really patient) a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive.

I'm guessing 450£ is probably the price to swap the entire display assembly (the lid portion of the laptop). If only the only problem is that the screen is broken and you're skilled enough to do it yourself, you can probably do a panel swap for about $150. You might want to check iFixit's tool store for any special tools you'll need to disassemble Apple's hardware.
