PSG/Arsenal – Hakimi sends a message to his critics | OneFootball

Achraf Hakimi, the 27-year-old right wing-back for Paris Saint-Germain, stopped by the M6 microphone after the victory on penalties (1-1 in regular time, 4-3 on penalties) against Arsenal (PSG/Arsenal highlights) this Saturday at the Puskas Arena in Budapest in the 2025-2026 Champions League final. 

Hakimi: “a lot of people at the start of the season thought we weren’t capable”

What are your first emotions?

There are no words, we’re very happy. We’re proud, it wasn’t easy, we knew that. We won, now we’re going to enjoy it! Now is the time to enjoy it with the supporters, the family, and this group that deserves it. At the start of the season, a lot of people thought we weren’t capable of doing great things. We work hard, and it pays off!

Hakimi: “we got the win and we deserve it!”

It was still complicated tonight, wasn’t it? You were captain as well?

Marquinhos was tired, everyone was. The players who came on did the job. I had to continue the work Marquinhos had done. We knew what people expected from us. We’re proud, we got the win and we deserve it!
