Marquinhos again delivers vs Marseille as PSG’s captain leads

Marquinhos was the man again for Paris Saint Germain. As L'Équipe reports, the defender scored for the third time this season on Sunday at Marseille, where PSG edged a 2-1 win.

The piece highlights that it’s not a one-off burst: Marquinhos was already decisive against Lille, and over the last month he has been carrying PSG in Ligue 1, contributing when games get tight.

A month of leadership

L'Équipe frames the impact as more than just goals. The captain is portrayed as the player setting the tone for the team, helping PSG stay competitive by providing stability and crucial moments in matches.

The key question: can he always be there?

Still, the article adds an important caveat: Marquinhos can’t be available all the time. That pushes PSG to plan for consistency, ensuring the squad can maintain the same level even when the captain isn’t at his best or not in the starting XI.
