Marquinhos warns PSG opponents against early certainty

Marquinhos has warned that Paris Saint-Germain’s opponents can become convinced a match is over once they lead the French club 2-0. The Brazil and Portugal international says that assumption shapes the way teams approach PSG, but his message is that such a scoreline does not settle the contest.

The 32-year-old centre-back remains a Paris Saint-Germain player. He joined the club from Roma during the 2013-14 season in a €31.40 million transfer, after moving between Roma and Corinthians during the previous campaign. His earlier recorded moves include Corinthians to Roma for €1.50 million and a €5.70 million transfer from Corinthians to Roma.

Marquinhos is valued at €28 million. His current player record also lists a minor knock and a hamstring muscle injury. Those details sit alongside his warning about PSG’s resilience rather than changing the central point: a two-goal advantage can create certainty for the opposition, while leaving Paris Saint-Germain with the opportunity to respond. No league position, recent form sequence or match result is supplied with the statement, so its significance is limited to the mentality Marquinhos identifies around PSG games.
