When 30 million change lives. Because Paris Saint Germain, by taking Marquinhos from Roma, made the best investment they could have made. Nineteen years old, with an obvious talent that had been highlighted with Zdenek Zeman, in a very short time he became a pillar of PSG. Last April 6, against Clermont, he equaled the record of 435 games played which previously belonged to Jean-Marc Pilorget. He then surpassed him four days later against Barcelona, in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Parc des Princes crowned their captain in the next match against Lyon.“It’s incredible, it’s an evening full of emotions for me, it’s the greatest pride to show this trophy. PSG is my life. It’s an honor to wear this shirt, these colours, a huge responsibility in this club with immense ambitions. I have always given 100% on the pitch, I have never cheated. The championship, the French Cup and the Champions League are there, we will go and get them”, with Al Khelaifi giving him a trophy in the shape of the Eiffel Tower, a bouquet of flowers and then hugs him. We know how it went in the Champions League.
In short, considering how much the Parisians have spent over the last few years, Marquinhos really was the biggest deal. Marquinhos turns 30 today.
