Rai, Brazilian legend of Paris Saint-Germain, paid tribute on Téléfoot to Marquinhos, the 31-year-old defender and symbol of the club. He praised the captain’s loyalty and values, recalling how his journey reflects the history and spirit of PSG.
“He has experienced every emotion, he has of course won more than he has lost. I think these numbers show his loyalty. He represents everything that is best in this club: his mindset, his kindness. He embodies all that is best about Brazilians and all that is best about Parisians.”
Rai didn’t just congratulate a compatriot: in a single sentence, he summed up what Marquinhos, 31, represents for Paris Saint-Germain. Since his arrival in 2013, the captain has been through it all: titles, disappointments, changes of era, media storms, and repeated rebirths. Few European players can boast such longevity at the highest level with the same club, and even fewer while remaining central to the sporting project.
This blend of loyalty, humility, and competitiveness is what Rai highlights, reminding us that the defender’s mindset embodies both Brazil and Paris. For Marquinhos, kindness has never erased his demands, and his demands have never stifled his attachment to the shirt. This portrait painted by an icon like Rai confirms one thing: at PSG, some symbols transcend generations.
