  "summary": "Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos expressed his hope that one of his teammates would win the upcoming Ballon d’Or award in a recent interview. The Brazil international was among several PSG players nominated for the prestigious individual accolade, alongside names such as Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha. This season, the club set a new record by having 10 players on the 30-man shortlist, including Ferran Torres, who was recently confirmed. Marquinhos emphasized that while he cannot single out a specific player, he is proud of the team's accomplishments, including winning the Ligue 1 title and securing their second consecutive UEFA Champions League crown in the 2025-26 season.",
