"However, the Brazilian legend has no doubts that Lamine would have dribbled past him if the two had ever crossed paths on a football pitch. "[He's] Great. It would be a problem for me. Until my last day as a footballer, I never found a winger who was worse than me. They were always very fast... Lamine would have definitely dribbled past me," said Marcelo."
"On being asked to name his favourite dribbler currently, Marcelo named a Real Madrid youth prospect called Gabri, comparing him to Lamine. "Right now, there's a player in Real Madrid's Juvenil A team called Gabri. He's top-notch, I like him. He'll probably make it to the first team because he dribbles impressively, like Lamine, he's very skilled. And I also love Kvaratskhelia, from PSG," he said."
Marcelo praised Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal and captain Raphinha, saying Lamine would have dribbled past him had they met on the pitch. Marcelo noted that he left Real Madrid in 2022 and retired earlier this year, and that he never faced those young attackers in his playing days. Lamine leads Europe with 60 successful dribbles in La Liga this season. Marcelo named Real Madrid Juvenil A prospect Gabri as a current favourite dribbler, compared him to Lamine, and also expressed admiration for Kvaratskhelia. Marcelo hoped Raphinha thrives and wins the World Cup.
