Real Madrid wing-back Marcelo: We never gave up!

Published on: 27 February 2017

Real Madrid wing-back Marcelo was delighted with the manner of their win at Villarreal.

Goals from Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata completed the turnaround, after second-half strikes from Manu Trigueros and Cedric Bakambu had the Yellow Submarine sitting pretty.

"We knew that we couldn't give up," the left-back told Movistar+ after the game. "We generated some important pressure and thanks to everyone who ran and fought so hard, we have won.

"We played against a great team, there aren't any easy games. We didn't think we would concede two goals, but you have to point out everyone's efforts."

The Brazil international didn't believe that Los Blancos felt the weight of Barcelona's 2-1 win against Atletico Madrid earlier in the day, which temporarily knocked the league leaders off their perch.

"No, we all play under a lot of pressure, nothing changes when the others win their games," said Marcelo.

"Those who came into the game [Isco and Alvaro Morata] had a great match."
