Zinedine Zidane complimented Marcelo despite the Brazilian's difficult season with Real Madrid.

"Marcelo is Marcelo. I like how he plays and I see him [as being] in good shape. He trains well and the season is complicated for everyone, not only Marcelo," said Zidane.

Zidane added that Real Madrid need more quality in the final third following their 2-1 loss to Valencia.

"I can't blame my players for anything. It's a loss and we have to accept it. We had to do more in the last few meters," he added.
