PSG/Flamengo – Another trophy to cement Marquinhos in football history

Wednesday, during the 2025 Intercontinental Cup Final, Paris Saint-Germain will face Flamengo at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Doha (Qatar) (kick-off at 6 PM, broadcast on M6). On the eve of this match, the Parisian defender and captain Marquinhos (31 years old) answered several questions in the mixed zone.

Marquinhos “It’s a special match”

“For everyone, it’s a special match, I know that historically, it’s very important for Brazilian teams to win this trophy. We’re trying to convey this message here. We are ambitious, we are hungry to win this title. We are an ambitious team with a very demanding coach who pushes us to play well. A 6th title (*) in the season would be incredible.”

At 31, Marquinhos is no longer about promises, but about the legacy left behind. Each additional trophy is not just an addition to an already well-stocked cabinet, it’s another line in the legend of Paris Saint-Germain. This final against Flamengo offers him the opportunity to reinforce an already unique status: that of a captain who has navigated through eras, projects, and disappointments, without ever losing direction.

A new title this season would be a strong symbol, almost a synthesis of his Parisian journey. Marquinhos embodies this rare continuity at PSG, this loyalty that has become an exception in modern football. Winning again, in such an emotionally charged context, is no longer just about lifting a cup. It’s about engraving his name even deeper into the club’s history, where only the stalwarts remain.
