The defender expressed immense pride in his decisive intervention while speaking to**Canal+.**The crucial block happened when the score was still deadlocked at 0-0.
"For a defender, it's better than a goal! It's the kind of moments I enjoy the most. Safonov makes a first save, there's a second ball, I turn around and I see [Virgil] van Dijk arriving. I just have the reflex to throw myself at the ball and try to save it. These are details that change a match," Marquinhos said.
