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.

But the legendary left-back got off to an embarrassing start possible with the Piraeus-based club on Thursday evening.

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.

The defeat means Olympiacos have dropped further points and are now languishing bottom of Group G with no points.

However, Marcelo and his teammates will be hoping to bounce back when they host PAOK PAOK Thessaloniki in a Greece Super League clash.

After the game against Qarabag, Marcelo posted on Instagram:

After almost 5 months without playing it’s not easy to come back… but I will. But no excuses!!! It has been not my expected debut but I’m sure it will get better from now.
