After the tight draw between Brazil and Morocco, Marquinhos had strong words of praise for Ayyoub Bouaddi.

Delivering an eye-catching performance against Brazil, Ayyoub Bouaddi completely won over Marquinhos. The Moroccan received glowing accolades from the PSG captain, who did not hide his admiration for the young midfielder—someone he already knew before this 2026 World Cup.

"I know him very well, I knew about his quality. I think the World Cup is also about this—discovering new players and talents," said the Brazilian.
