He told AS: "Playing against Lamine would have been a problem for me.
"Until my last day as a player, I never found a winger who was even remotely a challenge for me. Lamine would definitely have dribbled past me."
Marcelo also insists Real Madrid could have their own Yamal running around for Castilla this season.
He stated: "There's a player now in Real Madrid's Juvenil A team named Gabri (Valero).
"He's top-notch, I like him. He'll probably make it to the first team because he dribbles incredibly well, like Lamine, and has fantastic ball control."
