Marquinhos, the 32-year-old Paris Saint-Germain defender and captain, has further cemented his place in the club’s history after scoring the equalizer against Lille. With a tally of 44 goals in the red-and-blue jersey—as reported by journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin—the Brazilian has drawn level with David Ginola in the club’s all-time goalscoring rankings, thereby breaking into the top 20.

Marquinhos joins Ginola in PSG history
A center-back standing among the greatest forwards and playmakers in the club’s history—that is what makes the total achieved by Marquinhos so remarkable. With 44 goals, the Brazilian now draws level with David Ginola and sits just one goal behind Javier Pastore and Gonçalo Ramos, who have 45 goals to their names in this ranking.
His latest goal holds special significance, too. In the match against Lille, with Paris trailing 2–0 as stoppage time began, Vitinha first narrowed the deficit before Marquinhos rose to head home in the 95th minute, snatching a draw (2–2). It was a decisive intervention in the dying seconds—a moment perfectly in keeping with the captain’s history at the club.
Thirteen years spent building his Parisian legend
The years go by, and the records keep piling up. Having arrived at Paris Saint-Germain in 2013 at just 19 years of age, Marquinhos has become the player with the most appearances in the club’s history. As captain during the first Champions League triumph in 2025 and the subsequent European title win in 2026, he now holds a unique place in the Parisian club’s legacy.
His 44 goals also reveal another facet of this longevity. While finding the back of the net was obviously never his primary role, his aerial ability and presence during set-pieces have allowed him to gradually build a tally that is remarkable for a defender.
A legacy that goes far beyond statistics
Each additional goal brings him closer to players whose specific job was to score or create goals. Yet, Marquinhos’s significance in PSG’s history extends well beyond his goal tally.
The goal scored against Lille is unlikely to alter how the Brazilian is viewed in the club’s history—his standing is already firmly established. It simply adds further depth to a legacy that has become immense. Thirteen years after arriving in Paris, the captain continues—both literally and figuratively—to write the history of Paris Saint-Germain.
