Marcelo's name will go down in Real Madrid history as a result of this.
Marcelo, a Brazilian international, made history by coming on as a substitute in Real Madrid's twelfth Spanish Super Cup victory over Athletico Bilbao this evening. In the final four minutes of the game, he came in to replace Vinicius Junior.
Gento was the most decorated player in Los Blancos history before this game, with 23 trophies. Marcelo has already matched that feat with his triumph tonight. Given how long he has been at the club and the victories the team has had over that time, this comes as a surprise.
Luka Modric scored the game's first goal in the first half, and Karim Benzema scored a penalty early in the second half. Athletic Club continued to press, earning a penalty that resulted in Militao's dismissal, only to be saved by Courtois.
Real Madrid was named champion at the end of a contest that had been described as dramatic. Now, if Real Madrid wins another trophy while Marcelo is still on the team, he will become the club's all-time most decorated player.
