PSG’s Marquinhos makes bizarre statement after Man United loss

The fallout of an embarrassing UCL exit

Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos has made a bizarre statement following the Ligue 1 giants were knocked out of the Champions League.

It was expected to be a positive night for PSG in their quest to win the Champions League.

The Paris side held a 2-0 lead going into the second leg but were incredibly knocked out of the competition thanks to a controversial Man United goal.

VAR adjudged Presnel Kimpembe to have handballed in the area, a controversial decision which lead to Marcus Rashford converting his penalty.

Safe to say, there was a lot of fallout from this game.

Now, Marquinhos has chimed in with his own opinion on the result and made a bizarre statement in the process.

‘It’s time to eat our own s***’

Following the game, Marquinhos claimed that it’s a ‘good time not to talk too much’.

However, the Brazilian claimed ‘it’s time to eat our own s***.’

‘The game we played was unforgivable,’ Marquinhos explained to reporters, as cited by Goal. 

‘We have to analyse, think and we have to be men. It’s a difficult moment.

‘We had to give everything on the pitch. Now it’s over, we cannot say “You had to do that, you had to do this”.

‘These are still details, and it’s always the case at the high level. I think it’s a good time not to talk too much. As we say in Brazil, it’s time to eat our own s***.

‘It’s a s****y moment and we have to keep working.’

Je sais que les paroles n’atténueront pas la douleur des supporters et de tous ceux qui ont été déçu hier, je sais aussi qu’ils vont dire que ce sont encore les mêmes paroles et les mêmes excuses , mais tout ce qu’il nous reste aujourd’hui c’est d’être ensemble, fort et unis pour le @psg. Nous sommes des hommes, pères de famille, nous savons que nous avons échoué encore une fois, mais ne doutez pas de notre respect pour ce club ni de notre caractère! C’est un moment difficile, mais je vous le dis notre heure de gloire viendra. Sei que palavras não vão amenizar a dor de meus torcedores e de todos aqueles que se decepcionaram ontem, sei que vão dizer que são sempre as mesmas desculpas e as mesmas palavras, mas a única solução que nos resta é que sejamos fortes e unidos pelo @psg , somos homens, pais de família, sabemos que falhamos mais uma vez, mas nunca duvidem do nosso respeito ao clube e nosso caráter! Um momento difícil, mas afirmo pra vocês que nosso momento de glória chegará.
