Real Madrid full back Marcelo has apologised for his part in his side's humiliating defeat at home to La Liga strugglers, Girona.
Santiago Solari's side lost for the seventh time in the league already this season as the visitors came from behind to secure their first ever victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Brazilian commented on the post himself, claiming responsibility for his poor performance A Real Madrid fan account posted a comparison of gamed with and without Marcelo starting
One supporter account on Instagrampointed this out in no uncertain terms, showing the team's form when the 30-year-old has appeared on the teamsheet in recent times.
In his last nine starts in the league, Solari's side have emerged victorious just once, while drawing two and losing the other six.
Real Madrid AC posted the stats alongside the caption: 'Why is Marcelo still a starter? Look I love him but f*** me, you have to be realistic... I hope he returns to his best level as soon as possible!'
To his credit, the defender responded to the post personally. Talking about the most recent defeat, he replied: 'It’s all my fault. We move on!'
It has been a tough season for the 30-year-old, who reportedly was dropped for weight issues
It has not been an easy season for Marcelo, who was reportedly dropped by Solari earlier in the campaign for being a stone overweight.
The manager was asked about the player's performance after the match on Sunday, but gave a dissmissive response, describing it as: 'Good,' before adding: 'He played well.'
Next up for Real Madrid is a trip to Levante in La Liga. They have already been undone by the Valencian outfit this season, with Jule Lopetegui suffering a 2-1 defeat at home in what was one of his final matches.
