Marcelo confesses Ronaldo's goal was offside
The defender explained that he "could have shot" but that "you see Cristiano next to you..." and handed the ball to him to score the goal that secured Real Madrid's semi-final spot. Marcelo dribbled through the middle, got past the entire defence line of the Bavarians, and instead of shooting, he passed the ball to Cristiano on his right for a tap in. The goal by the former Madrid forward made the score 3-2 in a match that would end 4-2 in favour of Real Madrid and they won the UCL the same season as well.
The 35-year-old came in as a teenager and left the club as a legend winning 5 Champions League, 6 La Liga titles and many more trophies with the historic club. He currently plays in Brazil for Fluminense FC.
