Marcelo was resigned to defeat and had cutting words regarding the opposition's style of play when he spoke to Canal Plus.

"They play in a certain way. They hoof it up and look to win the second ball. We'll see what the coach has to say about what we have to do to counter that type of football. Their game is launching the ball upfield", stated the Brazilian.

The Real Madrid full-back wanted to give a reminder that his team still have a chance of turning the tie around: "This is a tough ground to play at. We tried hard, but they played very well. We still have the second leg at home to come".
