Paris paper slams Marquinhos after Flamengo v PSG clash: “Tough night” | OneFootball

Flamengo and PSG (FRA) drew 1-1 in the Club World Cup final this Wednesday (17th)

The French media are covering PSG’s (FRA) world title, praising the match played by Flamengo and also criticizing some of the champion players. Among those criticized is the Brazilian captain Marquinhos, who committed a penalty on Arrascaeta this Wednesday (17th), in Doha, Qatar.

“Penalty conceded and match point lost, a tough night for Marquinhos. As captain, he was expected to be the first to lift the Intercontinental Cup, a trophy the club had never won before. Around the 60th minute, the Parisian leader committed an avoidable foul inside the box,” highlighted the newspaper Le Parisien, which added:

“The volley, after a low and powerful cross from Ousmane Dembélé, ended up going the wrong way, when all the defender needed to do was push the ball into the net from three meters out,” stated the Paris portal.

How did Marquinhos commit the penalty?

After a failed throw-in, the ball landed at the feet of Arrascaeta. Inside the French box, the number 10 dribbled past Marquinhos. However, the Brazilian brought down the Uruguayan and, as a result, Jorginho converted the penalty to equalize.

How did Marquinhos miss the goal?

In a dangerous move for PSG, Dembélé crossed the ball to Marquinhos, who was in the six-yard box just a few meters from the goal. However, even with no goalkeeper, the captain missed the chance to put the French team ahead on the scoreboard.

When does Flamengo return to Rio de Janeiro?

After the Club World Cup, the Flamengo squad departs for Rio de Janeiro this Thursday (18th), starting at 10 a.m. (local time) and 4 a.m. (Brasília time). After the reception, the Most Beloved will begin their rest period.
