Marcelo's debut ends in defeat

Real Madrid icon Marcelo Viera suffered a nightmare debut in Olympiacos' 3-0 defeat to Qarabag in the UEFA Europe League.

The 34-year-old signed for the Greek giants on a free transfer from Real Madrid last summer after 16 years at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Marcelo was introduced to the game against the Azerbaijani giants on the hour mark, only to see his side concede three goals before the match came to an end.

Marcelo hits the 'Siuuu' celebration

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Marcelo Vieira stole Cristiano Ronaldo's famous 'SIUU' celebration as he scored for Olympiacos in the Greek Cup on Wednesday night.

Olympiacos advanced to the quarterfinals of the Cup competition after drawing 2-2 with Atromitos at the Peristeri Stadium.

The 34-year-old paid tribute to his former Real Madrid teammate, Ronaldo, by hitting the legendary forward's iconic goal celebration.
