Vinicius Junior asked Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane to start Marcelo for Sunday's triumph over Barcelona.

Marcelo impressed on the night, while Vinicius scored in the 2-0 win.

Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, while speaking on El Chiringuito, revealed: "Who asked to play with Marcelo did it because he considers it more collaborative with him.

"He hinted and suggested it timidly. Not that he told Zidane to do it, but his coach paid attention.

"The player who did this was Vinicius Junior."
