All the strength in the world!“, Marcelo wrote a couple of hours after the end of the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores in which they drew 1-1 at La Paternal.

Sánchez’s injury, which was confirmed to be a complete dislocation of the left kneeoccurred halfway through the second half, when after stepping on the ball, Marcelo lost possession of it and ended up doing the same with the leg of the Argentinos footballer, in an image that impressed everyone present at Diego Maradona.
Marcelo, a 35-year-old from Rio, came up with Fluminense, then went on to Real Madrid, where he developed the most brilliant period of his career, then he went to the Greek Olympiakos and finally returned to his Brazilian club of origin.
“Marcelo’s expulsion was wrong,” said the DT of Fluminense
Fluminense’s coach, Fernando Diniz Silva, acknowledged that Argentinos is a “complicated” team and assured that defender Marcelo was “badly sent off” after the 1-1 draw at La Paternal, for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 .
“We live a complicated night because the rival is. It will be difficult for both of us to return,” said the DT at the press conference at the Diego Maradona stadium
“The referee (Piero Maza) had an absolute lack of judgment throughout the game. We are all sad about the injury to Luciano Sánchez, but Marcelo was badly sent off.”She complained.
On the other hand, the DT analyzed that Argentinos dominated everything in the first half, but that they later matched it in “the game and the draw was fair”.
The return will be on Tuesday, August 8 at 7:00 p.m. (Argentina time), at the legendary Maracaná stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
