What a dream start to the match! PSG led 2-0 after only 20 minutes of play during its Champions League final against Inter, Saturday evening in Munich, in the completely crazy atmosphere put by Parisian supporters. Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute of the meeting after a great collective action.
Vitinha found Désiré Doué, author of a small call in the integral surface and covered by Federico Dimarco. The attacking midfielder formed in Rennes then carried out a great control before sliding the ball to Hakimi in front of the goal for the 1-0. The Moroccan side did not celebrate against his former club.
Achraf Hakimi is entering the history of the Champions League and African football since he is only the sixth African player to score during a C1 final.
Hakimi in legend
The other five African players concerned are legends: Rabah Madjer in 1987 with FC Porto against Bayern (2-1 victory), Samuel Eto'o in 2009 with Barça against Manchester United (2-0 victory), Didier Drogba in 2012 with Chelsea against Man United (1-1, 3-4 victory in Tab), Sadio Mané in 2018 with Liverpool against Real Madrid (3-1 defeat), Mohamed Salah in 2019 with the Reds against Tottenham (2-0 victory).
A few minutes later, on a counterattack led by Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué was found on the right side of the surface of the Nerazzurri. The first decisive passer in the game struck with the goal and the deviation of Dimarco (decidedly) deceived Yann Sommer (20th). 2-0 PSG!
