Marquinhos first said: "It's a great emotion, we did a very good job. The road is very difficult, it's slow, we have had some very difficult games. Now we want to enjoy the victory and prepare for the next game in the best way. The road to the final is open, but everything is not over." In the Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain's opponent will be Serie A team Inter Milan.

The last time Paris Saint-Germain reached the Champions League final was in 2020. Marginhos continued: "Experience and pain can make people grow. I have had this experience, and I will make the most of these experiences on the court. When the team is running, defending... I often communicate with young players. We put in a lot of effort to get here, and have this mentality, this DNA."

Then Marginhos said: "We are working step by step, and from the beginning of the game, we have been full of ambitions and want to go further. Now we have advanced to the final. I have lost a Champions League final. I know how painful it is, but I will try to pass that experience to my teammates. We. Nothing has changed, we will continue to work hard in the same way, and meet the challenge with a good and confident state."

Finally, Marginhos talked about coach Enrique, "The coach is gradually improving the team. When he first came here, he found that there are many aspects that need to be improved, and we need to build a new mindset. But these can't be achieved overnight, and he works little by little. Some games have also helped us build confidence, such as games against Manchester City and Liverpool... that proved that our work has achieved results. Last season, we played well and created opportunities, but we couldn't make the most of the opportunities. And the results of this season show that we are on the right path."
