Wednesday, during the final of the 2025 Intercontinental Cup, Paris Saint-Germain will face Flamengo at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Doha (Qatar) (kick-off at 6:00 PM, broadcast on M6). On the eve of this match, Parisian defender and captain Marquinhos (31 years old) answered several questions in the mixed zone.
“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 get that message across here. We’re ambitious, we’re hungry to win this title. We’re an ambitious team with a very demanding coach who pushes us to play well. A 6th title (*) this season would be incredible.”
At 31, Marquinhos is no longer about promise, but about the legacy he leaves behind. Each additional trophy is not just another 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 chance to further strengthen an already unique status: that of a captain who has weathered eras, projects, and disappointments, without ever losing his way.
A new title this season would be a powerful symbol, almost a synthesis of his Parisian journey. Marquinhos embodies that rare continuity at PSG, a loyalty that has become exceptional in modern football. To win 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 true leaders remain.
