The PSG players were at the Loges camp at the time of the draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League which designated Barcelona as their opponent.
It brought back bitter memories to those who were present in 2017 when the incredible comeback at Camp Nou was taken after a 6-1 loss still in the spirits.
A nightmare that Marquinhos hopes to dispel by the end of winter.
“It's a thing of the past,” explains the captain on the PSG website.
The club has grown, the team has matured.
There have been a lot of changes, new players have arrived.
Many players were not there for these confrontations.
It's a different context, for Barcelona as for us.
It really is a different story.

"Fortunately, Neymar is with us"
More than half of the Parisian team has changed for nearly four years and Neymar, the executioner of PSG, this March 8, 2017 has changed sides.
"Fortunately, he is with us," smiles Marquinhos.
He had decided this match for Barcelona.
It's one of the best games I've seen him play.
Today, he has the desire and the goal to do the same damage to Barcelona as he did to us.
"
But before the double confrontation scheduled for February 16 and March 10, the captain already reminds his teammates of their obligations: “It's a great match and a great challenge.
We will have to be ready for this confrontation.
But that's next year.
We have other things to think about to arrive well and in confidence.
