PSG/Tottenham – Stunning comeback, Marquinhos hails Chevalier | OneFootball

Marquinhos, 31-year-old defender and captain of Paris Saint-Germain, stopped at the Canal+ microphone after the victory (2-2, then 4-3 on penalties) against Tottenham (video highlights PSG/Tottenham) this Wednesday at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine as part of the 2025 UEFA Super Cup.

Marquinhos: “I am proud.”

Is your team indestructible?

I am proud, we didn’t have much preparation but you can see that football is not just about physicality, it’s also about mentality, being well positioned, being tactical. Tottenham was leading 2-0 then they stayed back, they invited us to come back and it’s dangerous when you invite us to get back into the game. We made changes that gave us what we needed, we needed a number 9 to put that ball in the back of the net. For the penalties we trusted Lucas, we know him, he just arrived and it feels good to be reassured, I am very happy. Our penalty takers did a great job.

Marquinhos: “Welcome to him with a trophy, a final, he had to deliver and he did it very well.”

Was there pressure on your new goalkeeper?

That’s PSG. PSG is like that, welcome to him. You have to handle the pressure, he’s used to it, he’s a top-level goalkeeper. Lille isn’t easy either, and he’s also in the national team. Welcome to him with a trophy, a final, he had to deliver and he did it very well.

And the competition at the back?

I am very happy, I am here to help and nobody has their place guaranteed here anyway. You have to be at a high level and always give your best and that’s what I’m going to do.
