Paris Saint-Germain’s victory in the Champions League was marked not only by the celebration of the winners, but also by a gesture of sportsmanship carried out by Marquinhos.
After the final whistle of the decision against Arsenal, played at Puskás Aréna, the PSG captain turned to Gabriel Magalhães to console him.
Visibly dejected after the penalty shootout defeat, the Arsenal defender received words of support from Marquinhos in one of the most memorable moments of the night.
The scene was recorded by several photographers and quickly gained prominence on social media, being highlighted as an example of respect and fair play beyond rivalry on the field.
You’ve just won the Champions League and, instead of celebrating with your teammates, you’re going to support your compatriot.
Lindo. ❤️
