Marquinhos Comments on Luis Díaz's Foul and Hakimi's Injury
After Paris Saint-Germain's 1-2 loss to Bayern Munich, captain Marquinhos addressed the incident involving Achraf Hakimi's ankle injury caused by a tackle from Luis Díaz.
“With the intensity of the match, everything was decided by a few centimeters, a few seconds. Luis Díaz injured an opponent, and the referee made his decision. It’s a shame because Hakimi is a very important player for us. I hope it’s not too serious.”
Marquinhos sought to keep a balanced view on the incident, highlighting that Díaz is not a violent player:
“Luis is not a bad guy. He wanted to play the ball, but he got a bit carried away. These are things that can happen in such an intense match.”
He also admitted Bayern's superiority in the game and pointed out areas for improvement:
“Bayern was better than us today. We tried to respond, we scored, but we lacked efficiency. We need to learn from these kinds of matches.”
Summary
Marquinhos downplayed the foul by Luis Díaz while expressing hope for Hakimi's recovery and stressed the need for PSG to learn from their defeat to Bayern Munich.
