Recently, the columnist Daniel Riolo criticized Marquinhos’ performance in PSG’s victory over Real Sociedad in the Champions League. According to Riolo, the Brazilian defender and captain had another difficult match and was hindering the Parisian team.
His comments were particularly harsh. Riolo stated that Marquinhos “has crap on his thighs” and “is scared” during Champions League matches. He also claimed that the player’s experience was just a “losing experience”. These violent attacks did not fail to provoke anger.

Luan Aoás’ reaction to Riolo’s comments on Marquinhos
Indeed, Marquinhos’ brother, Luan, did not appreciate these comments at all. On his Instagram account, he directly threatened Daniel Riolo. “If you are a man, tell me everything you said today to my face. We’ll see who will be scared… I hope we will meet soon,” he wrote.
These statements show real anger and a desire for physical confrontation. It is rare for a player’s family member to react so fiercely against a journalist. It is understandable that Luan wanted to defend his brother after such public criticisms, which question his honor and his status as captain.
