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.
