Marcelo never feared Sevilla shock as record-breaking Madrid progress

The Brazilian defender claims he was always confident that the Blancos would reach the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey despite being given a scare

Marcelo insists Real Madrid never feared a shock Copa del Rey exit at the hands of Sevilla despite their unbeaten run almost coming to an end in thrilling fashion at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Thursday.

Jorge Sampaoli's side, trailing 3-0 from the first leg, were 3-1 up with 13 minutes to play before a Sergio Ramos penalty and a last-gasp Karim Benzema strike sealed a 3-3 draw and 6-3 aggregate win for the visitors.
