Emotional Night for Marquinhos After Historic UCL Triumph

Twelve years. Nearly 500 appearances. 34 trophies.

Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos couldn’t hold back the tears as he finally lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy — a moment he had long dreamed of since joining the French giants in 2013.

The Brazilian defender, a pillar of PSG’s rise over the past decade, led by example throughout the campaign and in the stunning 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the final. The victory not only sealed PSG’s first-ever UCL title, but also marked the crowning glory of Marquinhos’ illustrious career at the club.

It was more than a win — it was the emotional payoff of a 12-year journey defined by loyalty, resilience, and leadership.
