Ex-Real Madrid captain Marcelo: Bellingham has had unbeatable start

Former Real Madrid captain Marcelo is in Riyadh today to see his former teammates.

Real are taking part in the Spanish Super Cup playoff being staged in Saudi Arabia this week.

Marcelo told Real Madrid TV: "I see the team very well. A great job is always done in Madrid. It is now playing in the Spanish Super Cup and I wish then luck. I hope they win it.

"Thanks to Real Madrid I have been able to get five. Playing for Real Madrid has always been wonderful. I have been playing in the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia with Fluminense.

"I just spoke with the players and I see them very well and motivated for this tournament."

He added: "He (Jude Bellingham) is my son Liam's idol and he wanted to take a photo with him. I see him very well. He has had a very good start. We know that at Real Madrid we always have to improve but his start is tremendous, almost unbeatable."
