MARCELO suffered a nightmare Olympiacos debut – conceding THREE times in 30 minutes after coming on.
The Brazilian joined the Greek side on a free in the summer window, leaving Real Madrid after 16 years.
But the Marcelo got off to the worst start possible with his new side, suffering a horror debut.
The full-back came off the bench against Qarabag on the hour mark, only to see Olympiacos concede three times before the match finished.
It meant they dropped further points in their Europa League group stage, currently sitting rock bottom with three straight losses.
Marcelo & Co will be hoping to bounce back against PAOK on Monday.
