This season, there is him and the others at PSG. Since the start of this 2024/2025 financial year, Achraf Hakimi is probably one of the best Parisians, if not the best. In Luis Enrique’s system, the Moroccan international has taken on such an important place, perhaps even too much for some. This Tuesday, in the Champions League, against PSV Eindhoven, he was in all the right moves and was surprisingly the most dangerous element offensively. Scorer with a beautiful long shot, he was at the origin of all the biggest chances for his team, multiplying the calls in his lane.
It must be said that since his arrival at the head of PSG, Luis Enrique has decided to make his right lane the number one asset of his team. The Parisian game regularly leans towards this side where Achraf Hakimi combines with Ousmane Dembélé. And when the Frenchman occupies the entire right flank, the Moroccan does not hesitate to move into the axis to free up space. A well-oiled system which also forces Nuno Mendes to stay further behind, particularly on the offensive aspect. And for the moment, PSG can clearly thank Achraf Hakimi.
Achraf Hakimi is in great shape
Since the start of the season, the 25-year-old defender has already scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists in 9 matches. Statistics continuing from last season where he scored 5 times (and 7 assists). “It’s similar to last season, I think he’s a little better defensively. He is more focused and efficient. But Achraf Hakimi is a top player. He is one of those young people who have experience. He is a reference for his teammates. I see him more mature and I like that. He is a player who must continue to grow.confided Luis Enrique a few days ago about his foal.
This Sunday evening, PSG will still have to hope for a great Achraf Hakimi to beat OM in the Classic (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). The Moroccan international (80 caps) will obviously start in the right lane. It risks forcing the Olympian team to lock down this side and this could be one of the keys to the match since Marseille has some difficulties in this position. Last season, at the Parc des Princes, Hakimi shone in the Classic with a goal in his team’s big victory (4-0). This season, PSG seems less dominant and will therefore count even more on its player who will still have to be in the oven and the mill. But Hakimi shines when he has responsibilities. It’s up to him to confirm.
