Champions League champions Paris Saint-Germain will face Premier League giants Chelsea in the 2025 Club World Cup final, and Marquinhos says this is a great opportunity for the team to compete for another piece of silverware.

In the 2024/25 season, Paris Saint-Germain won the French League, the French Cup and the Champions League respectively, and the overall results were very impressive. In the earlier semi-finals, Enrique's team relied on goals contributed by Fabian Ruiz, Dembele and Gonzalo Ramos to beat Real Madrid 4-0 and successfully advanced to the final.

Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos said, "Every game has its own story. We can't think that everything is over just because we have won some games with excellent performances before. The key is what we can do and how Chelsea will perform. We are ready to compete for this trophy."

"We will stick to our style of play and play what we do best. No matter who the opponent is, we have our own football philosophy. We also respect every opponent, especially in such a stalemate final."

Marquinhos continued, "We are all aware of the importance of this tournament. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. This tournament only comes once every four years and we now have the chance to win the championship. From the first day, the coach has been reminding us of the importance of this tournament, and some players may only have this one chance in their lifetime to participate."

“We really enjoyed the process of the game and were fortunate to play against opponents with completely different styles. This trophy means a lot to us. If we can win, it will be a perfect end to the season.”

In addition, Marquinhos added, "As a central defender, I have a clear understanding of how the whole team plays. We understand the coach's requirements for us and his tactical philosophy, which is why we can get to this stage."

“It took a little time to get used to it at first, but now we are in great form. I feel honored to be a part of this team.”
