Marcelo Vieira da Silva Júnior (born 12 May 1988), known as Marcelo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Real Madrid and the Brazil national team. He plays mainly at left back but can also operate as a left winger.
He is frequently compared to Roberto Carlos, who himself said Marcelo was his heir, the world's best left back and that "Marcelo possesses a better technical ability than me".
After his breakthrough season, Marcelo was praised by football legends such as Paolo Maldini and Diego Maradona, who also called him the best in his position.

Marčelo ( Serbian: Mарчело), born Marko Šelić (Марко Шелић) is a Serbian Hip-hop artist and writer, known for his socially conscious lyrics and eclectic approach to musical arrangements. From Paraćin, he moved to Belgrade, where he has had great success over the years, and became one of the most prominent Serbian hip hop artists. He is also a student of Serbian language and literature at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philology. Marcelo is often referred to as the "voice of a generation" by his peers, as he perfectly captures the spirit of a transition-bound young man in Serbia trying to make a decent living for himself, while remaining sane. He does not vote, for he feels there is nobody to vote for, he does not trust the authorities, as he believes that none of them have earned his trust and he is sceptical about a happy ever after scenario, as he has seen to few of those to believe that they happen to most people.
