Present in the mixed zone after PSG’s defeat against PFC (1-2), Marquinhos was logically disappointed with the result but the Brazilian defender especially wanted to look forward to the C1 final against Arsenal. “We were not at our level, especially in terms of commitment. Even more so in the first half where we didn’t create anything. But we have to stay positive, the most important thing is the final (of the Champions League against Arsenal, May 30). Afterwards, we are competitors, we always want to win and it’s a derby on top of that. They’re a very good team, it’s always been difficult against them. But there were two teams at different times in their season..
Relaunched on the thirteen days to wait before the final, the Parisian captain added: “the preparation has been done since the start of the season. We will find solutions, we will play a match between us. We don’t play finals all the time so it’s not the preparation that will bother us. You have to enjoy this moment. It won’t be easy. You have to prepare well and motivate yourself well.”.
