Marquinhos “I don’t forget the players who came here before me.”
“My feeling today is the same as all Parisian fans. They went through things with me, even before me. Before the match, they thought about it all. I think everyone was proud of this team that attacks and defends together. But I’m as proud as I can be. I could see my team running from the back, and the way we won made me proud.
I haven’t forgotten the players who played here before me. They are legends who should also have won this trophy. Today they are gone, and now to be captain of this team that has won this Champions League for the first time is an honor that I will always keep with me, in my heart.”
Marquinhos “All the moments we’ve spent here have made the team and the club grow.”
What are your thoughts at the final whistle?
“It’s a relief, as I said before my feeling is the same as that of all Parisians. All the moments we’ve spent here have made the team and the club grow. It’s been a source of pride and incredible emotion. That’s why I gave my all on the pitch this season.
I remember the opportunity we had in 2020 and that feeling, I didn’t want to miss out a second time. It’s an incredible moment, a moment of glory that everyone here deserves to savor. Everyone here, at the Park, around the world, I thank you and we’re going to enjoy it.”
