Paris Saint Germain’s Skill Video of Brazilian Defender Marquinhos Draws Mixed Reactions From Fans

• Paris Saint-Germain have had an underwhelming start to the 2023/24 season
• Newcastle United recently battered the Ligue 1 giants in the UEFA Champions League
• A skill video shared on social media by the club has been met with mixed reactions from fans

The palpable tension continues to mount at Paris Saint-Germain as the season unfolds rapidly.

The Ligue 1 club, which made headlines with a flurry of unexpected departures since the appointment of Luis Enrique, has struggled since the beginning of the new season.

According to Fotmob, coach Luis Enrique, who seems to be sensing the increasing pressure, dedicated a significant portion of his pre-match interview ahead of the clash against Rennes to call for calm among the club's fans following their UEFA Champions League defeat by Newcastle United.

The Parisian club eventually returned to winning ways with a 3-1 away victory against a struggling Rennes side. Revelling in latest triumph, the club took to social media to applaud the outstanding skills of their captain, Marcos Aoás Corrêa, popularly referred to as Marquinhos.

However, the reactions to the video echo the current feeling amongst fans of the Parisian club.

Fans' reactions to PSG's Marquinhos video:

@Youssnk expressed his disappointment with the skills displayed:

"Where was this against Newcastle, if I may ask? Well, at least a brief respite."

@AFC_Carol tweeted:

"A washed-up club."

@davidferdinand1 posted:

"Couldn't even stop a ball against Newcastle United 😃😃."

@AlexC7214 sarcastically commented:

"Oh yeah, that's a big technical gesture."

@IronshimaxXx added:

"And where's the video of the mistake against Newcastle? Where's that?"

Luis Enrique's team will be aiming to regain their footing in the season after the international break when they face Patrick Vieira's Strasbourg.

Coming off a lacklustre display against Newcastle United in the UEFA Champions League last Wednesday, the French star sought to regain his form at Roazhon Park.

In an unusual display, the 24-year-old French forward squandered a chance by firing it wide despite having a wide-open net waiting to embrace the ball.
