Real Madrid full-back Marcelo believes his former team-mate Angel di Maria will be given a good reception when he returns to Estadio Santiago Bernabeu with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Di Maria spent four years alongside Marcelo in the Spanish capital, helping Madrid to capture La Decima - their 10th European Cup - while also winning La Liga and the Copa del Rey twice during his time at the club.
"I think Di Maria will get a good reception," Marcelo said on Monday.
"It was great to play with him. Di Maria is a great player and a great friend. I wish him the best. But we should not just concentrate on one PSG player – we must think about their whole team.
"I expect a very tough game. PSG are a team with high-quality players, I expect a tough match."
"It's going to be a key match. All of the players want to play, it's like a final. We will play it with plenty of enthusiasm," he added.
