"You're stupid" - Marcelo gets upset with a journalist

The tension at Real Madrid at the moment spilled over to the mixed zone on Saturday night when Marcelo lost his composure while giving an interview to the national radio stations. 

The left-back, one of the captains of Los Blancos, became irritated when the journalist Anton Meana, of Radio Marca, asked him about the team not displaying a positive attitude during the 4-0 loss to Barcelona. 

“Have you played football? Have you ever played at the Bernabeu?” Marcelo responded to the journalist in a negative tone. 

“You’re not the most appropriate person to speak about a lack of attitude — you’re stupid.”

Marcelo quickly realised his error and said that he didn’t mean to show a lack of respect, but he wasn’t impressed with Meana’s line of question, so both apologised to the each other. 

After the interview, the journalist tried to speak to Marcelo again just to make sure everything was fine. The Brazilian was willing to speak, but Madrid’s press officer said “no more talking here.” 

Meana and Marcelo were both surprised by the reaction of the press officer, which was where the incident came to an end.
