Marquinhos reached his 437th appearance in PSG’s recent 4-1 Champions League victory over Barcelona, setting a new record. “It’s a special moment that I share with my teammates, family, and fans,” Marquinhos stated.

The tribute, including a special jersey presentation, will take place right after the final whistle at Parc des Príncipes. Fans are invited to stay and participate in the celebration, which will also be streamed on PSG’s official platforms.

Since joining PSG in 2013 from Roma, Marquinhos has helped the club secure 28 titles, including eight French Championships. He continues his tenure with PSG under a contract that runs until June 2028.
