Marquinhos and his partners will face FC Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Paris Saint-Germain will host the Spaniards in the first leg at the Parc des Princes on April 9 or 10 and will travel to the Montjuïc stadium (due to work at the Camp Nou) for the return match, a week later.
The captain of the capital club commented on the draw.
“FC Barcelona is a historic club, a team to respect.
He is an opponent that we have faced a lot in the past, with good times and not so good times.
We will prepare in the best way possible.

“The coach will also want to resolve some details that can make the difference”
The Brazilian defender, who started during the Remontada in 2017, tried to calm the enthusiasm of the public, who already sees PSG heading to the final, by certifying: “There is no favorite in this confrontation” .
The former Roma player, however, showed himself confident, sure of his strengths and probably with the idea of repeating the performance of 2021, during which his young teammate Kylian Mbappé stood out three times at the Camp Nou to allow for his team to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League (cumulative score 5-2 for Paris).
“It will be important to study our opponent to know how they play, but the main focus is on us.
We showed our strength and our values during these two good performances against Real Sociedad.
Now we have to continue working, I think the coach will also want to resolve some details which can make the difference between now and then.
We must continue, concentrate on our work and I am convinced that we can achieve great things.
