PSG strikes again at the Vélodrome. Already a scorer in Paris’ victory in Marseille last season, Marquinhos once again found the net against OM this Sunday evening, this time offering PSG all three points with the decisive goal in the 75th minute. The Parisian captain recognized the particular pleasure of winning in the Marseille den. “It’s always a pleasure to win here. When we come here and win the game, it’s so good, no matter if it’s close or not. We’ve had easier matches here, today was a good match. We also had to defend, and even though their team was second to last before that match, it was a good team that challenged us on the pitch. We were able to overcome our difficulties to win and that’s so good, I’m very happy to win here. As we often say, a Classic is not played, it is won, whether it is here or at home, and we are very happy to win this match. »
But Marquinhos also had a small personal reason to savor this evening in Marseille even more. By scoring his 46th goal in the PSG jersey, the Brazilian equaled the total of his compatriot and former teammate Lucas Moura in the history of the club. A statistic that he obviously did not fail to note when returning to his goal, with a little dig addressed to his friend Lucas. “My goal? I think I equal Lucas Moura’s number of goals at the club, right? 46 goals, that’s very good! We know how difficult it is to score goals, but when you get the opportunity and you can help the team win, it’s always good. Especially here, in Marseille. »
