The Brazilian has stressed Los Blancos have what it takes to cope without the Welshman, insisting that they played well in their 1-1 draw in Sevilla
Real Madrid defender Marcelo rejected the notion that Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Betis was down to the absence of Gareth Bale and has stressed the capital club can cope without the Welshman.
Bale missed this weekend's trip to Betis due to a calf problem and was replaced by James Rodriguez at the Benito Villamarin.
The Colombia international provided the assist for Karim Benzema's equaliser, but could not prevent Madrid from spilling points.
