Real Madrid wing-back Marcelo is convinced opposition teams are targeting Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo complained about the tackling from Real Valladolid players after last weekend's victory.

Marcelo said: "Cristiano has a style of dribbling that is very special. No one wants to be beaten by him. I'm not sure if they make a point of trying to tackle him, but the fans certainly get heated because of it. This could prompt some players to make hard challenges. He does a good job of keeping his head."
