Thiago Motta (Brazilian Portuguese: [tʃiˈaɡu ˈmɔtɐ]; Italian: [ˈmɔtta]; born 28 August 1982) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for French club Paris Saint-Germain F.C. and the Italian national team.
He spent his early career at Barcelona, where he was injury-prone. He also played two-and-a-half seasons with Internazionale before joining Paris Saint-Germain, winning 22 major titles between the three clubs combined.
Born in Brazil, Motta is also a citizen of Italy. He represented the latter national team since 2011, appearing at the 2014 World Cup and two European Championships and finishing second at Euro 2012.
Born in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Motta signed with FC Barcelona in 1999 at age 17, from local Clube Atlético Juventus, initially being assigned to the club's B-side. He eventually graduated to the first team in 2001, making his official debut on 3 October against RCD Mallorca in a 3–0 home win.
