Marquinhos: Olympic Gold & my wife have made me a man

The Paris Saint-Germain defender, who has made the 2016 Goal 50, says he has never been happier - thanks to Brazil's triumph at the Rio Games and the support of Carol Cabrino

GOAL 50 EXCLUSIVE

Paris Saint-Germain starlet Marquinhos says that he is a changed man after a summer in which he won Olympic gold and got married.

The versatile defender was part of the Selecao squad that ended the country's agonising wait for the only title that had previously eluded them by beating Germany in the final of the Rio Games.

That joyous occasion came not long after another, with Marquinhos having wed his partner, Carol Cabrino, earlier in the summer.
