The PSG captain appeared very touched during the ceremony in tribute to Marco Verratti.
It was a special evening for Paris Saint-Germain. The capital club paid tribute to Marco Verratti, the most successful player in its history (30 trophies), to whom the Parc des Princes paid tribute before the match against Nice.

The Italian was a popular player. By his supporters, but also by his work colleagues. PSG published a video with messages from several former partners of “Gufetto”, while his current teammates were at the edge of the pitch. Among them, it was Marquinhos who seemed the most affected.

The Brazilian loses a teammate with whom he has played since his arrival in Paris in 2013, and with whom he has known everything under the colors of the Rouge et Bleu. Marquinhos thus becomes the “oldest” player in the PSG squad, ahead of Presnel Kimpembe, who joined the first team in 2015. Evil tongues will say that, since PSG is engaged in renewing its squad, the Brazilian will perhaps be the club’s next big name to leave…
