PSG: Marquinhos equals Verratti

Starting against Strasbourg this Saturday, Marquinhos equals Marco Verratti in second place among the most capped players in PSG history.

Arrived in 2013 in Paris Saint Germain, Marquinhos has known almost everything with the capital club. Winner of 28 trophies including eight French championship titles, the Brazilian international has gradually risen to the rank of legend in Paris and in Ligue 1.

The legend of Marquinhos grows

Symbol of the great Parisian period, the 29-year-old defender will climb further into the history of PSG. Starting this Saturday for the Strasbourg reception, Marquinhos will play his 417th match in the Parisian jersey. An immense figure which allows it to equal a certain Marco Verratti in second place among the most capped players in the history of the club, he is 18 lengths behind Jean-Marc Pilorget, leader with 435 matches. Barring injury, Marquinhos should logically take first place this season.
