Daily Digest: PSG’s youth project and Hakimi’s return | OneFootball

This Monday, December 29, the French press (from a sports perspective) focused on Paris Saint-Germain and its youth-centered project that led to a historic year in 2025, with the challenge now being to retain the core of its squad and its coach Luis Enrique. There is also the return of Achraf Hakimi, as it has been announced that the 27-year-old right-back will play tonight with Morocco against Zambia during the third matchday of the AFCON.

Indeed, PSG has achieved something remarkable and relatively quickly. There were, even if some now “downplay” previous years, some very useful foundations at the time of the project’s renewal in 2023. But it wasn’t necessarily expected that victory in the Champions League, as part of a sextuple no less, would come so soon.

Paris has built an impressive and promising squad. The mission now is to succeed in keeping the most important elements, while other major clubs will logically try to attract them. There is also coach Luis Enrique, under contract until 2027, who has already mentioned that he’s never stayed more than 4 years at a club because it “wears you out.” His extension or replacement will be a key point.

As for Hakimi, he has worked hard to come back and it’s time for him to return to competition. The management, which seemed wise, is appreciated, as he missed the first two matches. This suggests that Morocco has avoided taking risks. Let’s hope the right-back quickly regains good form.
