In total with PSG, Marquinhos has won a record 11 Ligue 1 titles, 14 domestic cups, and two Champions League titles. He ranks top for all-time appearances for the club, with over 500. Marquinhos made his full international debut for Brazil in 2013, and was part of their under-21 side which won the 2014 Toulon Tournament.
