The veteran left-back spoke highly of the current team and also his time at the club, which saw him win numerous titles, including 5 Supercopa trophies.

Marcelo told Real Madrid TV: “I see the team very well. A great job is always done in Madrid. It is now playing in the Spanish Super Cup and I wish then luck. I hope they win it.

“Thanks to Real Madrid I have been able to get five. Playing for Real Madrid has always been wonderful. I have been playing in the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia with Fluminense.

“I just spoke with the players and I see them very well and motivated for this tournament.”

Speaking on Jude Bellingham, he added: “He (Jude Bellingham) is my son Liam’s idol and he wanted to take a photo with him. I see him very well. He has had a very good start. We know that at Real Madrid we always have to improve but his start is tremendous, almost unbeatable.”
