No Preference for Next Opponent

When questioned about potential quarter-final opponents, either Liverpool or Galatasaray, the Brazilian defender expressed no particular preference. He highlighted the dynamic nature of football and the importance of focusing on their own abilities. “We don’t really focus on who we’re playing against. It’s about working on what we can improve,” Marquinhos explained, confident that any team facing PSG would have a tough challenge ahead.

The road ahead promises two high-level matches, with the Brazilian insisting that the team will prepare thoroughly, focusing on the finer details that could determine the outcome.
