My lawyers are working on it and I hope it is resolve soon - Marcelo

Real Madrid left-back, Marcelo has responded to the claim that he defrauded the Spanish tax authorities of almost half a million euros in 2013.

Marcelo was said to have defrauded the Spanish authorities of £437,000 by allowing foreign companies to handle his image rights. 

"My lawyers are looking into the matter," he explained in his post match interview.

"I hope they will find a resolution and that the matter will be sorted as soon as possible."

Mauricio Pochettino earned many plaudits for his own coaching performance at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, so impressive were the visitors that the 29-year-old feels Los Blancos won a point.

"Pochettino's approach has been bad news for Real Madrid," he admitted.

"We have not won the match, but in my opinion we won a point.

"It has been a very tough match, Tottenham read the game really well."

Karim Benzema failed to find the net on what was a frustrating night for the Frenchman, thwarted by fellow countryman, Hugo Lloris.

However, Marcelo made clear the forward will only be disappointed about the collective failure of the team.

"He'll be disappointed not to score, but he will be even sadder for not having won the match," he concluded.
