Marcelo hailed Real Madrid matchwinner Cristiano Ronaldo for victory at Getafe.
The victory also meant that Los Blancos set a new LaLiga record of 13 consecutive away wins.
"We know what he [Ronaldo] can give Madrid," the Brazilian said to reporters after the game.
"He might not score in two games ... but he's always decisive when he has to be."
Just like against Barcelona, the hosts made life difficult but succumbed late in the day.
"It's a difficult ground and players are always more motivated against us," he continued.
"But we played well and what matters is that we have done a great job."
