A massively important player for Madrid that doesn't get enough credit. Yes Ronaldo scores goals but Marcelo does everything else! When Marcelo plays well and influences the game, Madrid usually win. He has been the best in his position for a long time and has been one of the most consistent and successful footballers in the world in the past decade. Legend. From a Barca fan.
People fail to realize that even the best in his position say he's the best Roberto Carlos is without a doubt the best left back that was in the game of football But know what he said ? He said Marcel has overtaken him and he is his successor Yes, Alaba is a monster of a left back, but Marcelo has always been better than Alaba And even Marcelo himself recognizes Alaba's potential They're even good friends actually It's not so much of a rivalry, but don't just go by opinion because it's pretty much factually proven that Marcelo is better. But I have no doubt that when Marcelo retires, he will say that Alaba will overtake him and he most likely will.
Roberto Carlos has always been biased towards Brazilians. if Alaba was brazilian R. Carlos would have said he is the best left back in the world. Maldini was a better left back than Roberto Carlos btw
+Antonio Lopez Alaba is better as a complete player. I mean sure, Marcelo is a menace going forward, Alaba is as well, but he tends to make mistakes defensively. And Alaba is only 23, so if he's better than him now, imagine what will it be when he reaches his peak
CoolSkeleton 123 Actually, Maldini is a LB. He spent most of his career playing at that position. He only switched to CB in the final few years of his career
MARCELO ESUN GRANDISIMO JUGADOR QUE A DERROCHADO TODA SU CLASE EN EL REAL MADRID. OJALA NUNCA SE RETIRARA PERO ESO ES INEVITABLE. ES SIN LUGAR A DUDAS EL MEJOR LATERAL IZQUIERDO DEL MUNDO UN DIGNO SUCESOR DE OTRO GRANDE COMO FUE ROBERTO CARLOS. MADE IN BRAZIL.
Marcelo is so awesome!!! Marcelo is the LB ever (besides R. Carlos), I think Alaba and Alba are very good to Alaba a little more then Alba but still not at Marcelo's level yet. That's just my opinion, I know a lot of people disagree with me. Alaba will be the best when Marcelo retires.
Sou fã jogo de lateral pra mim o melhor da atualidade independente de idade e monstro acompanho desdo fluminense minha camisa e 12 em homenagem e sem fala que ainda tem meu sobre nome vieira monstro
He was part of that 7-1 thumping in WC. That alone disqualifies him. One could argue that, on that day, he and David Luis were the worst players on the field for Brasil.
