Real Madrid captain Marcelo matches Gento trophy record

Real Madrid captain Marcelo became the club's equal greatest title winner with last night's Supercopa de Espana triumph.

The veteran wing-back helped Real defeat Athletic Bilbao in the final in Riyadh on Sunday.

Marcelo now has won 23 trophies - so equaling the record of Real Madrid great Paco Gento.

The left back surpasses Sergio Ramos and Manolo Sanchís, with both having won 22 titles. Ramos is now with PSG.

Marcelo has the chance to become the club's greatest title winner before the end of the season, when he will leave Real as his contract expires.
