In the form of his life!

The Brazilian was pivotal in Real Madrid winning the Champions League and also finishing 2nd in the La Liga. The Los Blancos are unbeaten so far in the 2016/17 season, and that too wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for Marcelo.

The left-back has been contributing not just in defence, but in attack as well. He's scored once and assisted two this season. Adding to that's he's made some incredible runs and key passes that have made things a lot more comfortable for Ronaldo and Co. up front.
