In the match against Levante, the Brazilian drew level with the 161 victories enjoyed by Santamaría.
It has been 8 years since Marcelo's debut for Real Madrid, and since then the Brazilian has steadily racked up tallies that have seen him go down in the history of the club. Against Levante, he equalled the 161 La Liga wins achieved by Santamaría, to move to third in the ranking of league victories picked up by Madrid players born outside of Spain.
The Real Madrid left-back now only has two legends ahead of him in Alfredo Di Stéfano, who earned 191 wins, and Roberto Carlos, who holds the record with 211. In total, Marcelo has made 222 La Liga appearances for the Whites, scoring 15 goals.
