Los Blancos star was believed to have hailed the pint-sized attacker as the best in the world, putting him ahead of club teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Right now, Messi is the best player in the world and it is a pleasure to play against him," Marcelo was reported as saying by
Globoesporte.
"We will see what happens, if we can mark him. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mexico-c2956], so we will have space to play.”
"But we need to be careful, because they can score goals easily. You cannot talk about one or two players only, but about their entire team.
"But we also have several good players and we will try to secure a good result."
However, the Brazilian international has retracted on his previous outburst, claiming that he was misquoted in his previous interview.

Moreover, the tenacious left-back claimed that it was a pathetic attempt to ruin his friendship with the Portuguese hotshot with no avail.
"They misinterpreted what I said," Marcelo explained while talking to Madrid-based Spanish sports daily, AS. "Messi was the last one to receive the award, but for me, Cristiano Ronaldo is without a doubt the best.”
"The press will not ruin our friendship," he noted.
Marcelo was an integral part of the Real Madrid team that won La Liga title in the 2011/12 campaign. It was Los Blancos 32nd league title in their history and their first in three years that brings http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 reign of dominance in Spanish top flight
