The Parisian captain is wary of the Catalan club on Friday, while showing confidence in PSG’s chances in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The paths of Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona cross once again. After the Parisian trauma of the 6-1 elimination in the round of 16 second leg of the 2017 Champions League, the “revenge” at the same stage of the competition four years later or even the transfer of Neymar to Paris in the meantime, the two clubs will face each other in the quarter-finals of this C1 2023-2024. For Marquinhos, captain of the capital club, the opposition is balanced against “a historic team, which is always to be respected“.
“There is no favorite in this match. Anything can happenassures the Brazilian. You will have to seek qualification, be very strong. We have to put in good performances like these last two games against Real Sociedad, where we showed our strength and our value.“The Parisians had obtained their ticket to the European Top 8 by dominating the Basque club in both the first and second legs (2-0, 2-1).
They will now host Barça on April 9 or 10 at the Parc des Princes, before seeking their qualification in Catalonia on April 16 or 17. “I’m sure we can do great things“, concludes the Parisian captain.
