Real Madrid left-back Marcelo sarcastically apologised to criticism from a fan after the defeat to Girona.

Santiago Solari's men were stunned at the Bernabeu on Sunday as they were beaten 2-1.

The defeat left Real nine points adrift of Barcelona with their title hopes appearing all but over.

Marcelo has come in for criticism in recent weeks amid reports he is looking to end his long stay at the Bernabeu in the summer.

He was disappointing again on Sunday with Real's recent form with him in the team providing a shocking statistic.

Real have managed to win just one of their last nine La Liga matches with the Brazilian in the side, with youngster Sergio Reguilon impressing in midweek.

One fan compared the recent results when the two left-backs are in the side and Marcelo has a sarcastic response.

He responded: “It’s all my fault. We move on!"

Solari insisted Marcelo had played well in his post-match press conference but there are suggestions he is ready to make Reguilon his first-choice in that position.

Marcelo, 30, has been tipped to follow Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus this summer and it remains to be seen how much longer he remains in Madrid.
