L'Équipe Football reports that Marquinhos was questioned about the Ballon d'Or at a press conference on the eve of PSG's match against Slovan Bratislava. The Brazilian defender did not want to single out any of his teammates as favourites, but instead expressed his desire for a PSG player to win the award. PSG currently holds the Ballon d'Or, with Ousmane Dembélé as the current winner. The club has a strong chance of retaining the trophy, having placed nine players in the list of thirty nominees for the Ballon d'Or last year, equaling the record of Real Madrid.
