Marcelo Insists Real Madrid Don't Have Attitude Problem After Worst Ever European Home Defeat

Real Madrid defender Marcelo has insisted that the reigning Champions League holders do not have an attitude problem, despite Los Blancos suffering a humiliating defeat to CSKA Moscow on Wednesday.

Madrid were stunned 3-0 by the Russians at the Santiago Bernabeu, with the loss going down as the side's heaviest home defeat in any European competition.

Goals from Fedor Chalov, Georgi Schennikov and Arnor Sigurdsson consigned Madrid to a chastening evening, although Wednesday's result had no impact on the already confirmed Group G winners.

Despite Los Blancos' evident struggles this season, Brazilian left back Marcelo was quick to play down accusations that Madrid were suffering from poor attitude and complacency.
