Marcelo hails Real Madrid teammate Casemiro

Real Madrid defender Marcelo pays tribute to the importance of teammate Casemiro ahead of Saturday's Champions League final.

Marcelo has claimed that "a fit Casemiro" is "very important" for Real Madrid ahead of the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid on Saturday night.

Casemiro re-joined Real Madrid last summer following one season with Porto and has developed into a key player for the Spanish giants over the last couple of months.

Marcelo has paid tribute to the qualities of his fellow Brazilian and claimed that the 24-year-old "has huge potential".

"For me, [Casemiro] is doing a great job. He's never protested when he hasn't played, and he's been given his opportunity to play for Madrid," Marcelo told reporters. "He's helping the team and a lad who has huge potential. He'll be doing much more than he is now. For us, it's very important to have a fit Casemiro."

Real Madrid will go in search of an 11th European Cup in Milan on Saturday night.
