He was the lowest rated player in the 7-0 Brazil Germany. And you can't say its a one off because he played in way too many big games where his team was overrun. 5-0, 6-2, etc...
I never watched R Carlos, but i'm almost certain Ashley Cole was a better defender.
Realistically, Marcelo is in the 2nd tier of best left backs of all time tho.

These players were not far from their peak, but maradona was the worst coach ever. Literally just having them would have been enough to take them over the finish line
