Marquinhos and PSG chase immortality in European football
After a decade dominating French football, Paris Saint-Germain now sets its sights on continental glory once more. Just months after lifting the Champions League trophy in a 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan, captain Marquinhos and his teammates are ready to etch another legendary chapter into the club’s history.

No club has claimed back-to-back Champions League crowns in the modern era—except Real Madrid, who achieved the feat twice, including an unprecedented three-peat from 2016 to 2018. Now, PSG eyes the record, with Marquinhos admitting, “Once you taste that moment, the hunger only grows.” His father, who made the road trip to Budapest with fellow supporters, embodies the passion propelling the club forward.
With 17,000 Parisian fans already securing their spots in the Puskas Arena, anticipation is electric. The Parc des Princes and packed fan zones across the city are bracing for another night of jubilation. Meanwhile, 8,000 law enforcement officers are mobilized to ensure celebrations remain orderly.
