Marquinhos Leads Paris Saint-Germain to Victory
Marquinhos, the Brazilian midfielder, born on May 14, 1994, in São Paulo, Brazil, leads Paris Saint-Germain as captain.
He is a main part of the national team's defense and has helped the team win several titles.
Marquinhos started his youth career at the Corinthians academy at just eight years old.
He eventually broke into the senior team, where he helped them win the Copa Libertadores in 2012.
After a short time playing for Roma in Italy, European clubs began to notice the young Brazilian.
He made a permanent transfer to Paris Saint-Germain for a $36.2 million fee in July 2013.
Marquinhos took over the club captaincy following the departure of fellow Brazilian Thiago Silva in 2020.
Marquinhos is highly focused on his family life, having met his wife Carol Cabrino through social media in 2014.
The couple got engaged the next year, got officially married in 2016, and are proud parents to three children.
Carol regularly posts updates about their family life and travels to her social media following.
Marquinhos captained PSG to a historic treble, which included lifting the club's very first UEFA Champions League trophy.
He has made over 450 appearances for the club, making him PSG's most-capped player in history.
As the team led by Carlo Ancelotti heads into the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Marquinhos will play a key role in the national team's defense.
With his experience and leadership, he will be crucial in helping the team achieve their goals.
Marquinhos' wife Carol Cabrino is a Brazilian singer and digital influencer who has been open about her personal life.
She has shared her experiences, including a painful miscarriage, with her social media followers.
