Historic Goals: Marcelo
In the 2010/11 campaign, the defender scored in the victory over Villarreal.
This week’s edition of Historic Goals features Marcelo. The defender signed for Real Madrid in the 2006/07 winter transfer window at the age of 18 and went on to become a club legend. The Brazilian is currently the player who has won the most trophies in the club’s history 25 and the second foreigner in terms of appearances made 546. Marcelo was a classy full-back, who posed a real threat down the left flank and often found his way into the opposition’s area.
On matchday 37 of the 2010/11 season, Real Madrid visited Villarreal. The goal we have selected is the first of the game which the Whites went on to win 1-3. Marcelo finishes off a quick counterattack from the madridistas with dink over the keeper when one-on-one, after being played through by Kaká.
