Paolo Maldini says Marcelo is the best LB

he says the truth, but i think he is trolling because i know him as a die hard fan of cr

source?

Nowadays most of fullbacks are meant to be an extra supporter for the midfielders and provide passing options, you guys overrate the defending aspect of LBs.

Marcelo is not good at defending though, Maldini probably valued his attacking attributes more than his defending. i'd say he's decent as LB and WC as LWB.

Got beaten repeatedly by Navas tonight, how can someone be the best LB in the world if they can't even defend like a top 10 LB?

Haha... I'll give you that one... Navas is toying with Marcelo tonight

It's those goddamn burgers he is looking chubby and fat

One of his worst perf this season, unbelievably awful

Navas always owns him, he has some kind of hold over him.

he was terrible,even at going forward.Maldini jinxed it

he wasnt even running today, he was a standing cone, absolutely worthless today

didnt look interested at all

He got raped tonight. :study:

One off.

What rape? Did I watch the same match! the only time Navas was in the game was when he scored @ 4-1 with Real Madrid a man down, and it was against Ramos. Marcelo had a decent game not his best game, as Mourinho instructed him to stay back due to Pepe's early red card.

No dude when I say Marcelo got raped you know shit went down.

Was outpaced most of the times.

Burger King made another victim.

BUMP

Clichy, Cole, Alba > Marcelo.

Alba and Clichy better than Marcelo

Marcelo.

Alba & Clichy?

Srsly

Best LB bar none.

He's not even the best LB in Madrid ffs and i'm not talking about Cacktrao either.

Best LB in the world, but can't defend? righto....

He can defend though, not the best out there but what he gives you going forward is more than worth it.

Seriously we're a much worse team without him. I simply don't think any LB out there can make an impact on a game like he can.

They will make documentaries about how Marcelo changed the game. How teams now prefer attacking fullbacks who can control the ball better than most CMs over slow "defenders'' who only make two meter passes.

Not sure where people get the idea that Marcelo is useless in defense.

Maldini was right

Saying Marcelo isn't the best LB in the world by far is like saying Messi and Cristiano aren't the best players in the world.

Top 15 player in the world.
