Luis Enrique confirms Marquinhos won a vote to remain PSG captain | OneFootball

In a pre-match press conference ahead of PSG’s match against Marseille, Luis Enrique confirmed that Marquinhos (31) won a vote to retain his place as captain of the Ligue 1 club. The Brazil international will continue to lead the UEFA Champions League winners out for the foreseeable future after winning the vote.

As confirmed by RMC Sport, the vote that took place also confirmed the leadership hierarchy in the dressing room at Les Parisiens. Achraf Hakimi was named vice captain following the vote and will don the armband should Marquinhos be absent through injury or suspension.
