Marcelo's link-up with Ronaldo makes Real Madrid destructive

A versatile player, Real Madrid signed Marcelo from Fluminense when he was just 19-years-old.

He made his debut for Real Madrid during the 2006-07 season. However, it took him some time to establish as the primary option at the left-back.

The pacy defender often created menace for the opponents with his inch-perfect cross'. Roberto Carlos, one of the greatest left-backs, hailed Marcelo as his heir.

Marcelo has played 451 games for Real Madrid. He has also scored 33 times for the Los Blancos. Marcelo has made 74 Key Passes this season and it does define why he is called as an attacking defender.

He was in the FIFAPro World XI for a massive four times and was named in the UEFA team of the year two times.

Marcelo is renowned for his attacking contributions. The Brazilian left-back has been bonding well with Ronaldo and has given form to a lethal duo.

Marcelo will be looking to add a fourth UEFA Champions League medal to his cabinet when Real Madrid face Liverpool in the final.
