Marcelo attracted notice in the Kings League when he publicly hinted at Barcelona following his visible annoyance with the referee during Skull FC’s most recent game.
Recently, former Real Madrid defender Marcelo reaffirmed his influence by returning to the pitch in the Kings League. The Brazilian star wore the Skull FC jersey, a team he joined to help improve their performance in the tournament founded by ex-footballer Gerard Piqué. However, instead of securing a victory, Marcelo became the center of a heated debate after a controversial match.
In the past week, Marcelo participated in two consecutive Kings League matches. In the first game against Rayo de Barcelona, things went relatively smoothly despite Skull FC’s loss. But in the second match versus XBuyer Team, the Brazilian player lost his composure, believing referee Ángel officiated unfairly. After the match ended, Marcelo appeared very upset and left the field in a sour mood.
Just hours later, on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the ex-Real Madrid star posted a video capturing the disputed incident, accompanied by the caption: "It’s always like this in Barcelona… we’re used to it. Do I need to say more?" This statement quickly went viral, stirring up social media. Many interpreted it as Marcelo’s subtle reminder of memories from El Clásico matches, where Real Madrid and Barcelona fiercely compete.
Marcelo’s remarks sparked divided opinions among fans. Some supported his reaction, believing he was justified in questioning the referee’s puzzling calls. Meanwhile, others felt mentioning Barcelona in this context was unnecessary. Regardless, Marcelo’s name made the Kings League livelier than ever.
Although retired, Marcelo still demonstrates the skill and strong personality of a Real Madrid legend. Every appearance not only impresses fans with his refined technique but also creates emotionally charged moments. After this incident, will Marcelo continue to shake up the Kings League with his familiar form and character?
