Brazilian left-back Marcelo has claimed that Real Madrid's performance in their 3-0 win over Levante on Sunday evening was "almost perfect".

The 25-year-old netted his side's second in the victory, which moved Los Blancos three points clear at the top of the La Liga table.

"It wasn't the perfect game but it was almost perfect," he told Canal+.

"We were weaker in the first half than in the second but what's important is that we haven't conceded goals. It shows that we are much better now than before."

Next up for Madrid is a league clash with Malaga next weekend.
