Real Madrid wing-back Marcelo insists he feels "great".

The Brazilian has battled for consistency this season.

But he says: “I feel great. I'm eager to keep improving in every match and every training session. We're going down a very positive path. It's the early stages, just the very beginning of the season, but we're feeling fantastic.

“When you're doing everything so well, you have to put in twice the effort to keep improving. The coach has come in to help us. We're looking good both with and without the ball. When we lose possession, we're trying to win it back as quickly as possible."
