On Tuesday night, Paris Saint-Germain were held to a 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes by PSV Eindhoven during the Champions League group stage. This disappointing result complicates the situation for Luis Enrique’s squad, who were hoping for a victory to inch closer to the round of 16.
Despite the setback against PSV, Marquinhos remains confident as PSG now shifts its focus to the highly anticipated *Classique* against Olympique de Marseille, set for Sunday night (8:45 PM) at the Vélodrome.
« Worried after this match? You can never be worried before a game against Marseille. We know it’s the most important match of the season. We know how crucial it is, especially for me in my 12th season here, » the PSG captain said in the mixed zone. « Today, we’re frustrated with the result because we wanted to win. But we don’t have time to dwell on it, we’re already thinking about Sunday. We have a great game coming up, the best of the season. Every player is hungry. A *Classique* isn’t just played, it’s won. »
Luis Enrique and his team will need to quickly address the issues seen against PSV. Despite dominating possession, PSG struggled with offensive efficiency, a recurring problem since the departure of Kylian Mbappé this summer.
