With Hakimi suspended, it’s likely that Marquinhos will play as a right-back in the PSG-Barcelona clash. Danilo is in favor of this decision.
Sidelined due to suspension, Achraf Hakimi will miss the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against FC Barcelona this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Center-back Marquinhos could step in as his replacement. And Danilo approves of this choice, as the versatile midfielder of Paris Saint-Germain revealed in a press conference on Tuesday.
The Brazilian could thus play his 436th match with PSG, setting a new all-time record.
“Other players can occupy that position, like Marquinhos, Warren as well. Marquinhos doesn’t have the same ability to exploit depth but other qualities that can help the team. Marquinhos is a role model for everyone. He’s a captain who always seeks to help others, he’s ready for any eventuality. He’s fantastic as a player and always performs. He’s important for us.”
