Real Madrid Squad 'Looks Good' Despite Super Cup Defeat, Says Marcelo

Real Madrid left-back Marcelo said he is happy with the squad Los Blancos have heading into the new La Liga season despite their 4-2 extra-time defeat to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.

The Brazilian said in the wake of the loss in Estonia that it is a mental shift Real need to make rather than a change in personnel, per Sacha Pisani of Goal:

"You have to focus on what we did well today. I feel that we put in a good shift. We had the ball, played as a team, and we fought as best we could.
