Marcelo explains why he shouldn't have provoked Messi in face-to-face matches

Former Real Madrid defender Marcelo has explained why he did not provoke former Barcelona striker Lionel Messi during head-to-head matches.

- Messi didn't talk during the matches, and I tried not to talk to him because he was quiet. We always said that we should leave things as they are because if you decide to interfere with him, you will provoke him and then he will get angry, and if he gets angry, it will be harder to deal with him," Marcelo said.
