The Brazilian left-back is arguably the best in the game right now. Marcelo joined Real Madrid at a tender age of 18 from Fluminense. He has been dominating the left side of Real Madrid for more than a decade now.
It is necessary to see, but now he is the best left-sided defender that there is in the world. Technically he is better; I was more power and punch.
- Roberto Carlos
Despite the emergence of many new full-backs, his technical superiority remains unmatched. Marcelo's consistency and quality have been appreciated everywhere. Real Madrid really did find a rough diamond in him.
