REAL MADRID defender Marcelo wants to join Cristiano Ronaldo in becoming an underwear model.
Following Los Blancos’ recent Super Cup win, the 33-year-old Brazilian equalled Francisco ‘Paco’ Gento’s record of 23 trophies with the Spanish giants.

And, according to journalist Paco Gonzalez, his plan now is to win one more competition, breaking the record, before turning his hand to modelling – as ex-team-mate Ronaldo has done already.
That trophy looks set to come in the form of the LaLiga title – with Real Madrid currently six points clear of Sevilla at the top of the table.
He will then reportedly turn his attention to underwear modelling.
This explains the reason behind Marcelo posting several gym videos of himself on social media in recent weeks.
Marcelo’s contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of the current campaign.
He has won five LaLiga titles already with the club and will be hoping to make it six later this year.
Marcelo has also claimed the Champions League on four occasions – including three times in a row between 2016 and 2018.
Other trophies the South American has won include two Copa del Reys, five Spanish Super Cups, three UEFA Super Cups and four Club World Cups.
Remarkably, this is his 16th season playing for Madrid’s first team after he joined the European titans from Fluminese in January 2007.
He has played more than 500 times for Madrid, scoring 38 goals.
