"I arrived here when I was very young, I wanted to enjoy the moment, playing in a big team with my idols. Today I've reached 500 matches, which is no small feat. And as I said in the dressing room, I'm proud to have worn this shirt for so many years and played in all these matches. I think it's very difficult to achieve this. You have to be very motivated, very hungry and competitive because the competition is fierce."
"For this 500th match, I think the best way to celebrate was to win. It was a great Champions League match. I would have liked us not to have conceded any goals for it to be a perfect evening. We didn't manage it, but I think the victory is still sweet."
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Tottenham 5-3 at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League, with Vitinha scoring a hat-trick and Fabian Ruiz and Willian Pacho also on the scoresheet. Randal Kolo Muani, on loan at Tottenham from PSG, scored twice and assisted Richarlison's opener. PSG have won 13 Champions League games in 2025, the most by any team in a single calendar year in the competition. Marquinhos reached 500 appearances for PSG since joining in 2013-14, becoming the fifth player from the top five European leagues to do so, and credited motivation, hunger and competitiveness for the milestone.
