Spanish Super Cup | Spanish League”>Real Madrid is playing this Sunday for the possibility of winning another title, when it faces Athletic Club de Bilbao in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, which, curiously, is not played in the Iberian country, but in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia .
Although it is not the most important title dispute of the season, for the Brazilian side Marcelo it could be a very special coronation, in case Madrid beats Athletic, because it will break an important record in merengue history.
Marcelo has the possibility of becoming the footballer with the most titles in the history of the white club, hunting down the legend Paco Gento with 23 conquests and surpassing Manolo SanchÃs and Sergio Ramos.
With a secondary role, without the minutes he wants in what is about to be his last season at Real Madrid and substitute for Frenchman Ferland Mendy, the Spanish Super Cup final will be a special moment for Marcelo. At 33 years old, he has a shot at equaling Gento’s 23 titles, with the aim of surpassing that record with more than one title this year.
Marcelo is already the history of Real Madrid, considered one of the best left-backs along with his compatriot Roberto Carlos. Since he arrived at the White House in December 2006, he has won five league titles, four Champions Leagues, two King’s Cups, four Club World Cups, three European Super Cups and four Spanish Super Cups.
