Brazilian full-back Marcelo is one of those players who has locked down a position at the single biggest club on the planet for the best part of a decade, but is still likely to be ripped to shreds for a woeful performance in a Champions League game by someone like Graeme Souness.
While he may have lapses of concentration and can't track a man like Steve Finnan, he is unquestionably one of the best full-backs in the world for what he offers Real Madrid going forward.
We've seen his bag of tricks before, the step-overs, no-look passes, and flicks, but a moment of pure technical brilliance in the Copa del Rey against Sevilla drew gasps from those in attendance.
The reverse slow-mo really does it justice.
Sublime.
He's left footed! Like his boots are wrapped in cotton wool, you get the feeling he could control a pint glass thrown from the top of a multi-storey car-park and keep it intact.
Real Madrid won the match 3-0, with a brace from James Rodriguez coming either side of a Raphael Varane goal, but Marcelo's magical touch, while wearing the captain's armband no less, was the standout highlight.
