Marcelo may very well have saved Rafa Benitez from being fired at halftime of El Clasico.
Alright, that's likely an overstatement, but one thing is certain: the afro-clad Brazilian ensured that Real Madrid will still have a chance to turn things around in the second half at the Santiago Bernabeu.
A lightning-quick attack, initiated, of course, by Neymar, resulted in Luis Suarez sending a side-footed effort towards an open goal.
Luckily for Madrid, Marcelo, often derided for his defensive play, raced back and kept the contest at 2-0 with essentially the final touch of the first stanza.
