Marcelo was more than pumped up for El Clasico.
The Brazilian was given the nod over Ferland Mendy at left-back and proved why he's been such a hit at Real Madrid over the years.
During the second half, he chased Lionel Messi down to prevent the Argentine from having a chance to equalise and celebrated making an important tackle as if he'd scored the winner.
After a difficult season so far, this performance was exactly what Marcelo needed to convince Zinedine Zidane that he's still the man to rely on at left-back.

Strikers celebrate after scoring, why shouldnβt defenders celebrate after preventing goal?

Marcelo really played untouchable football today. He dribbled past Messi twice in the match and man marked him throughout giving him little space. After that hilarious tackle, I think Marcelo was trying to show CR7 that he's still got it hence celebrating while looking at the VIP BOX...... In other words, it's never easy to defend against Messi.
