While he is playing his eleventh season in the Paris Saint-Germain jersey, Marquinhos could write his name a little more in the history of the Capital club this Saturday by equaling a 35-year-old record.
His name has become inseparable from Paris Saint-Germain. Arriving in the Capital in the summer of 2013 from AS Roma, the pre-match press conference has since become more than just a setting. The Brazilian international defender has been a symbol of PSG for a decade and has been its captain since the summer of 2020, when Thiago Silva left for Chelsea. Present in the group called to take part in the match of the 28th day of Ligue 1 against Clermont, this Saturday at the Parc des Princes, Marquinhos will have the opportunity to mark a little more the history of the Parisian club. Indeed, if he were to take part in this match, the Brazilian would then play his 435th official match under the colors of PSG. He would thus equal the record held by Jean-Marc Pilorget since 1989. Beyond his longevity, Marquinhos marks the spirits by his permanent commitment, as his trainer Luis Enrique was able to point out.
Marquinhos has “the best mentality” according to Luis Enrique
“In addition to being the captain, he is a person who is involved as if he were a young player,” said the Spanish technician this Friday during the pre-match press conference. When I see his face before matches, he has the vocation to want to improve, it’s the best mentality. He is a starter, an indisputable player who is capable of helping on and off the field. » The Brazilian will have experienced all the ups and downs of PSG throughout the last decade, with eight French championship titles, six victories in the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue but also eight Champions Trophies. He was part of the Barcelona debacle in 2017 as well as the Champions League final lost against Bayern Munich in 2020. At 29, Marquinhos is a pillar of the Capital club and, while his contract runs until 2028 , he should take the record of matches played with PSG to other heights.
