If PSG finished the match against Real Sociedad without conceding a goal, Marquinhos did not reassure defensively…

PSG would undoubtedly have signed for such a result before the match. Opposed to Real Sociedad at the Parc des Princes, the capital club won this first leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League 2-0, thus taking an option on qualification before the return match at Anoeta.

Everything was not easy for the French champions, especially in the first period where the Parisians had all the difficulty in the world to escape from the Basques’ pressing and to prove dangerous, except at the very beginning of match when Kylian Mbappé appeared alone against the Real Sociedad goalkeeper.

However, if Mikel Merino found the bar on a long shot just before the break, the Basque club did not collapse under the chances either, the Parisian defense keeping good guard in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal. Daniel Riolo and Jérôme Rothen nevertheless once again attacked Marquinhos with virulence.

“There is a real Marquinhos problem in the Champions League”

“There is a real Marquinhos problem in the Champions League. He plays, he has poop on his thighs, notably launched the RMC polemicist. He’s freaking out. Honestly I don’t know, he always seems to be scared when he catches the ball. The experience he has is a losing experience. » The Brazilian defender was indeed one of all PSG’s failures in the Champions League, against Barça, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

“Do you think he’s radiant? Do you think he’s a captain? I find that he carries a liability that is heavy”, he added, wondering about his level. And the sound was the same in the mouth of Jérôme Rothen.

“It’s a round of 16 at home, you’re playing against Real Sociedad. You don’t play Manchester City or Real Madrid”he railed, pointing to one action in particular: “Marquinhos took a big bridge from a guy who must be going slower than me today. And it took him two meters. There you tell yourself that it’s not possible. »
