Marcelo leaves Messi ‘aside’ and names the most difficult striker he faced
The player revealed the most difficult striker
Left-back Marcelo is one of the greatest idols in the history of Real Madrid, from Spain. The athlete arrived at the merengue team in 2007 and only left in 2022, winning five Champions Leagues.
Still, the Brazilian scored great duels against Lionel Messi. However, he left the Argentine aside and pointed out who was the most difficult attacker he faced.
The hardest
In a press conference after the last contract renewal with Real Madrid, Marcelo named Neymar as the most difficult player he has ever faced.
“The person who surprised me the most playing against and also playing with him in the national team was Neymar. For me, the hardest one to stop is Neymar. There are several too, huh” — revealed Marcelo.
In short, Marcelo and Neymar have already competed in El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even so, they also formed a duo on the Brazilian team, competing in two World Cups together.
