Brazilian Marcelo, the former Real Madrid player, revealed the royal team's unique strategy to stop Barcelona icon Lionel Messi in the epic El Clásico confrontations. Many coaches and defenders tried to find a solution to stop Messi for nearly two decades, but they failed to find a way. During his stay in Barcelona, ​​he was a nightmare for Real Madrid defenders and fans, as the Argentine often scored against them and is of course the all-time top scorer in Clásico matches. After Fede Valverde frankly admitted that he did not know how to stop Messi, veteran left-back Marcelo, who participated in many matches with the Argentine striker, revealed a strange strategy to prevent him from reaching the highest level. Marcelo said while speaking to the “Charla Podcast” program: “Messi did not speak during the matches and I tried not to speak to him because he was quiet. We always said that we should leave him like this, because if we decided to obstruct him, we would provoke him and he would get angry, and if he got angry, it became more difficult to deal with him.” "And more." Throughout Messi's illustrious career with Barcelona, ​​he participated in 45 matches against Real Madrid in several competitions such as the Spanish League, the King's Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Champions League, and scored 26 goals, which is a record in El Clásico.
