PSG: Mbappé's punchline for Hakimi after the win over Barça
Indeed, Achraf Hakimi once again made a lasting impression. On Barça's turf, the captain for the night led a depleted Paris side to a prestigious victory (2-1). In a red-hot atmosphere, the Moroccan delivered a masterclass both defensively and offensively, racking up sprints, decisive interventions, and bold initiatives. True to his temperament, Hakimi reminded everyone why he is considered one of the best full-backs on the planet today.
After the match, his brilliance did not go unnoticed by Kylian Mbappé. The Real Madrid striker, former teammate and friend, left a direct comment on Instagram: "You there, that's just too much." A mark of respect that speaks volumes about the level shown by Hakimi in one of the most anticipated clashes in Europe.
This performance adds to an impressive personal run of form. Recently ranked sixth in the Ballon d'Or, Hakimi fully embraces his place among the world's elite. "I'm proud of this ranking, but above all I think about team trophies," he confided this week. More than just words, it's a guiding principle: putting his talent at the service of the team, even if it means pushing his own limits. With this mindset, Paris knows they have much more than just a defender on the right flank—they have a true leader.
