Marcelo Viera in action.

It's been a decade since Real Madrid's fullbacks have been known to play their parts in the build-up and attack. Marcelo and Dani Carvajal are two of the best full-backs in the world right now who are known for their defence as well as attacking skills.

Julen Lopetegui's system uses the fullbacks in the attacking build up as they also try to set one of the strikers free in the 18-yard box. Marcelo and Carvajal both had a brilliant game against Leganes as they had an exceptional work rate and they were seen supplying numerous crosses and creating a threat for Leganes.

Ramos scores his 3rd goal of the season.

Following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus earlier this summer, there was a question over who's going to take the penalty kicks for the Spanish giants from now?

While some suggested Karim Benzema, Isco or Gareth Bale but it seems like captain Sergio Ramos has taken the sword in his hands as he scored his 3rd goal of the season from the penalty spot in Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Leganes.

Being a defender, Sergio Ramos is amongst the current top 10 goal scorers in La Liga. It looks like Sergio Ramos is set to become the highest scoring defender in the history of football in the coming seasons.
