Real Madrid 2-0 Getafe: Hits and Flops from the game

#3 Hit - Marcelo (Real Madrid)

Marcelo was his usual self down that left flank on the night

Marcelo impressed throughout the game with his attacking exploits down the left flank for Real Madrid on the night. The Brazilian relentlessly pushed forward in pursuit of mounting pressure on his opponents, who looked like being just a whisker away from imploding under the lights at the Bernabeu.

The full-back made a number of attacking forays down the opponent's half and added a fair bit of flair to the system that nullified Getafe's 'sit back and absorb the pressure' approach adopted during the entirety of the game.

The 30-year-old grew in confidence as the game progressed and eventually became a real threat going forward for the hosts, contributing a fair bit in the build-up to both their goals that helped them see off their city rivals in the end.
