Marquinhos, Captain Invincible against Marseille
This Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain will be able to count upon Marquinhos, their lucky charm against Les Olympiens.
The Rouge et Bleu captain hasn't once tasted defeat in 17 competitive fixtures against Marseille since he joined the club nine years ago in 2013.
Having occasionally been amongst the goals – he has twice scored against OM at the Vélodrome – the defender remains unbeaten against Les Phocéens, with 14 wins and three draws to his name.
After missing out on the capital club's one and only defeat against them since 2012 – a 1-0 loss on 13th September 2020 – following a positive COVID-19 test, the Brazilian international lifted his first trophy as Paris captain against Marseille in the Trophée des Champions on 13th January 2021 in Lens.
If Les Parisiens avoid defeat against Marseille, Marquinhos will draw ever closer to the symbolic milestone of ten years without once losing to them – an exceptional achievement for captain Marqui.
