'A fullback rampaging on the wings'. This phrase must have been coined when its creator saw Real Madrid's Marcelo live in action. The once error-prone defender has improved with each passing year and in the last season, finally found the right balance between attack and defence. Great players adjust their games according to the situation and Marcelo did that to perfection in Madrid's double-winning season.
His defensive contributions against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid were brilliant as he kept the likes of Arjen Robben and Koke silent. The Brazilian was at his best in the final third as well as evidenced by his tally of 3 goals and 12 assists. He attempted 1.8 dribbles every 90 minutes and was dispossessed only 0.8 times per game.
