7 – Verratti was invited seven times to the typical Ligue 1 team at the UNFP Trophies (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019). Nominated twice for the title of best player (2015, 2017), he inherited the trophy for best prospect in the French championship at the end of the 2013-14 season.

9 – Marco Verratti participated in winning nine French championship titles. This is a record in the history of the Parisian club, but also on a national scale. Remember that PSG had only been French champions twice before the start of the Qatari era, in 1986 and 1994. Verratti lifted the trophy from 2013 to 2016, then from 2017 to 2020 and again at the end of the last two seasons, in 2022 and 2023. The failures of 2017 (Monaco) and 2021 (Lille) did not allow him to equal or even surpass Grégory Coupet, Juninho and Sidney Govou, crowned seven times in a row.

11 – It’s no secret that Marco Verratti has never been a great goalscorer… In 11 years at the club, he has only found the net 11 times! His single-season record? Three goals in 2014-15 and 2016-17. Verratti has only scored three times in the Champions League, including two goals in the 2017-18 season alone.

38 – The PSG infirmary has no secrets for Verratti, who has suffered 38 problems since his arrival on the banks of the Seine. Malleolus, groin, calf, knee, thigh, adductor… Between the selection and PSG, he missed 143 matches!

45 – The estimated amount of his transfer to Al-Arabi, the second largest in the club’s history behind Neymar (90).

55 – It was after his transfer to Paris that Verratti made his debut for the Italian team on August 15, 2012, in a defeat against England (1-2). The first of his 55 selections (3 goals) with the Squadra Azzurra, he who was part of the epic until the title of European champion during Euro 2020, contested in 2021.

120 – Since the start of the QSI era, only Laurent Blanc has lasted three seasons as coach. The now ex-Lyon coach is therefore logically the one under whom Marco Verratti played the most (120 matches), ahead of Thomas Tuchel (88) and Unai Emery (81). Luis Enrique is not likely to appear on the list: the Spanish technician has not played the Italian once since the start of the season. In fact, he didn’t even call him into his groups.
