FBL-ESP-CHARITY-REALMADRID-JUVENTUS
Real Madrid Legend Roberto Carlos has named Marcelo as his favourite left-back in the world right now, according to Marca.
The former Brazil international was once seen as the worlds' best left-back himself whilst plying his trade for Spanish club Real Madrid and his country.
The defender had a glittering career and has a trophy cabinet to prove it. He won La Liga four times
as well as three Champions League trophies and a World cup.
Before he retired he mustered up a pretty impressive amount of individual awards which included being named UEFA Club Defender of the Year twice, in the UEFA Team of the Year twice, and as a Ballon d'Or runner-up.
The Brazilian was known for his blistering pace and powerful left foot when he played at the Bernebau between 1996 and 2007.
And it comes as no surprise that his choice as his heir to the throne is a similar type of player and doesn't come too far from home.

Speaking in Asia at an event under his new role as Real Madrid Ambassador, he said: "Marcelo is the best in the world, making football more real. Technically he is better (than I was). I was more power and punch."
Marcelo joined Madrid in 2007 from Brazilian club Fluminense and has since made an impressive 372 appearances across all competitions, scoring 26 goals, whilst also being vice-captain.
The 28-year-old also has an impressive trophy cabinet. He was won La Liga three times as well as two Champions League winners medals, not to mention regularly being named in teams of the season.
