Since the arrival of Luis Enrique, Achraf Hakimi has taken another dimension at PSG. And this season even more by passing a milestone at all levels. Vice-captain of Parisian training, the Moroccan international perfectly embodies the system and tactics of the Spanish coach. On his right corridor, Hakimi overflows, Dézone, returns to the heart of the game, ends in the surface and sometimes comes back to offer a solution to his attackers. In short, the Moroccan is multi-very.

So inevitably, to hope to go to the end of this Champions League and therefore go to Arsenal, PSG had to bet on a large Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan once again responded. Elected man of the match by UEFA, the Moroccan international was in all the good shots. His meeting had started with first duels lost to Martinelli but he quickly took over. As often, Hakimi relies on his crazy physique to gradually take the step on his opponents.

A crazy explosiveness

Capable of compensating in the duel thanks to his speed, he also hurt when they spring up as he knows how to do so well. Under the orders of Luis Enrique, the former side of Real Madrid does not hesitate to finish the actions. He was thus the Parisian player who tried the most shots in this meeting (3) equally with Désiré Doué in addition to being the one who centered the most. Often present in the area, he was rewarded by a goal that sealed his team's victory and therefore qualification.

“At first it was very difficult. Few people believed in us. We continued to work, and it paid. This is an important moment for the club, it's a final. The atmosphere in the locker room was incredible, we all celebrated together. I don't know if this final dream is a dream, but it's a special moment. A year ago, we did not go far too. I must be focused on my club and the goal now ”he confided in the mixed zone. The Moroccan is not mistaken, it is necessary to reoffend on May 31 against Inter Milan, his former club. But this season, PSG can salute the impressive regularity of its right side, often criticized last season by its irregularity. Today, Hakimi is a framework that does not disappoint and that always manages to mark its footprint. To the delight of Luis Enrique.
