Author of a brilliant double Saturday afternoon in Brest (3-0 victory for PSG), Achraf Hakimi will take a breather. The Moroccan full-back will not be traveling to Lorient on Wednesday, Luis Enrique having chosen to spare him in the face of an already hellish schedule for Paris.
PSG confirmed it: this rest is not a sanction, but a precautionary measure. After a marathon 2024-2025 season, concluded with victory in the Champions League and a Club World Cup final, the Parisian corps are inevitably sticking their tongues out. And Luis Enrique knows it: if he wants to keep up on all fronts, he must now manage the health of his executives carefully.
“Achraf is in exceptional shaperecalled the technician after the victory in Brest. It's not difficult to say that he is the best in the world at his position, that's obvious. I had Dani Alves, if you remember. I don't like to compare players, but I have to say that I am very happy to have such incredible players. »
The CAN in Morocco in the sights
Rare praise, but deserved. Hakimi has been shining since the start of the season, decisive offensively while regaining a defensive rigor sometimes criticized in the past. A true engine of the Parisian right lane, he symbolizes the collective power of the Enrique version of PSG, made of intensity, mobility and discipline.
Beyond PSG, Hakimi seems to have digested the disappointment of the Ballon d'Or, where he was among the outsiders but finished in 6th place. The Moroccan chose to respond on the pitch, with his stratospheric level of play. The year 2025 promises to be crucial for him and for an entire country, since the CAN will be played in Morocco. A unique opportunity for the full-back to shine at home… and to shine during a season that could well mark his career.
