Sakho hails Marquinhos, the ultimate PSG icon | OneFootball

Guest on Téléfoot, Mamadou Sakho paid a heartfelt tribute to Marquinhos (31 years old), central defender for Paris Saint-Germain. The former Parisian captain praised an exemplary player who has made history at the club and remains a model of respect and total commitment. He emphasized the Brazilian’s human and sporting impact at PSG.

Sakho: “His behavior doesn’t lie”

Mamadou Sakho’s words resonate as a rare acknowledgment between two defenders who have worn the same jersey with the same sense of duty. The former international sees in Marquinhos what Paris expects from a leader: speaking French from his arrival, respecting the local culture, giving everything for the shirt like a kid from the 78. This detail, almost trivial, says everything about the Brazilian’s deep attachment to PSG. In a locker room, a player who doesn’t cheat, who gives his all every week as if the club had trained him, becomes a natural pillar. This bond between Marquinhos and Paris has survived crises, changes of era, and the club’s growing demands. When Sakho says he hopes Marquinhos stays for ten more years, it’s not an exaggeration: it’s proof that a player can become an institution, simply through his consistency and respect for the jersey. Marquinhos has remained that reference point, generation after generation.
