Brazilian believes team is trying its best

Another setback by Real Madrid that leaves them in a very delicate situation in the league was unable to be explained by Marcelo, who suggested that the team can't do any more than they are at present.

Now 16 points behind leaders Barcelona, that sort of statement will be a worry to the Los Blancos support.

"We're sad and we're f**king sunk.

"We're trying to get out of this mess and we're working to do that, but we don't like this at all," he confessed after the 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo.

"It's difficult because the more matches you draw or lose, the more the pressure increases.

"We can't do anything else.

"We do what we can, we try to play good football, score goals and circulate the ball, but it's not happening for us."

Playing for Real forces the players to stand tall and never give up, something Marcelo promised would happen.

"There's no choice but to show your best face and fight," he continued.

"Fight and give your best so you can win."
