Marcelo apologizes for Madrid's Clasico thrashing

Real Madrid fans made their feelings clear during the Clasico defeat to Barcelona and Marcelo has apologized for the performance.

Real Madrid fullback Marcelo has apologized to the club's fans following the 4-0 Clasico thrashing at the hands of Barcelona.

Two goals from Luis Suarez either side of a strike apiece from Neymar and Andres Iniesta gave the Liga leader a resounding victory at the Santiago Bernabeu and prompted a chorus of boos from the home support.

Marcelo, who missed a good chance just after halftime before Iniesta struck Barca's third, says the players must forget the result quickly and fight to claw back the six-point gap to the reigning champions.
