Marquinhos (31, Paris Saint-Germain center-back) shared his emotions with the club’s website after PSG’s historic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final, highlighting the pride and intensity he experienced during this long-awaited triumph.
Marquinhos “I was even starting to cry before the end of the match”.
The title against Inter Milan
“I was even starting to cry before the end of the match. I thought of all the years we’ve spent, the years I’ve spent here. I’m very happy, very content. I think of all the players, all the legends who came before me, with me, and who made this club grow. We succeeded, and once again I’m very happy for these great players who also deserved it. That’s why I couldn’t control my emotions.
We wanted to win in our own way. Our way was to be aggressive from the start to the end of the match. We didn’t know the result was going to be so wide. On the other side, there was a wonderful team, a team that really deserved to win this title too. They did a great job right up to the final. But we were really strong in this match.
Marquinhos “You’ve always been the best supporters in the world”.
The fans
I’d like to thank the fans who have been with us all season. We always felt you were with us, at home and away. You’ve always been the best fans in the world. If we’ve managed to bring home this trophy today, it’s also thanks to you. The difficult times we’ve been through have helped us to grow and to get this far. Today, we’ve earned this trophy, so enjoy!”
For Marquinhos, this final against Inter Milan symbolized much more than just a match: it embodied the culmination of long years of expectation, hard work and sacrifice at Paris Saint-Germain. At the final whistle, the accumulated tension gave way to total decompression, reflected in uncontrollable tears, proof of the immense relief and joy felt.
This victory has not only liberated the players, but also a whole nation of supporters who, season after season, have believed in this European dream. Marquinhos underlined the importance of these fans, who were present in difficult times as well as in euphoria, and who also experienced their finest day.
Ce sacre, partagé entre vestiaire et tribunes, restera gravé comme l’instant où l’attente s’est muée en émotion pure, offrant au PSG et à ses supporters un moment d’histoire et de communion unique.
