5 Real Madrid superstars Liverpool should be wary of

#3 Marcelo

Paris Saint Germain v Real Madrid - Champions League — Marcelo put up great displays in the big games

The preparations for the Champions League final will be a very complicated one. While Liverpool will be busy thinking of how to stop the Real Madrid attackers, they also need to be wary of the problems that Marcelo will cause them on Saturday.

The Brazilian has proved to be quite unstoppable in the tournament this year, especially in big games like this.

He scored against many European powerhouses including the likes of Bayern Munich, Juventus and Paris Saint Germain during the knockout stages of the competition.

His ability to take the ball into offensive positions and split defenses open with his magical touch is quite excellent.

A highly talented superstar and a big-game player, Marcelo will definitely trouble Jurgen Klopp's men on Saturday. In fact, Alexander Arnold will need extra motivation to handle the threats of the amazing left-back.

The Brazilian has been outstanding in the Champions League this term, bagging 3 goals and 2 assists. He also has 10 clearances, 16 tackles and 12 interceptions to his name in the competition.
