Marcelo is a fantastic winger but a very poor defender. No way he's #1 in the world.
I wouldn't really say he's poor. He has improved drastically when it comes to defending.

Most left backs now tend to be attacking ones, there aren't really any good defensive left backs anymore.

I'd still put Ashley Cole ahead of all of those mentioned, they are basically left wing backs moonlighting.
A couple of years ago I'd tend to agree with that, but now, not really.

Rarely humiliated because he is fast as fuck. But 'rarely humiliated' has no place in a discussion about who the best LB in the world is. :p
He is the best LB around, it's definetely between him and Alba. Marcelo struggled a lot with injuries this year, look for him to bounce back this year as he had an amazing conf cup.

Versus Italy he was all over the place defensively. At times he was just stuck at the center of the pitch when Italy were all the way in their half. Any other team on a good day would have exploited that space easily.

Marcelo grew to become a very capable defender, i've rarely seen any winger humilate him for a game in the last 2 years.
He's got raped everytime he's come up against Navas.

Alaba is the most complete of them all.Defensively and offensively ,he's the perfect LB to have around.
