PSG: Achraf Hakimi's provocative reaction after victory at Barça | OneFootball

Achraf Hakimi

Always present with PSG, Achraf Hakimi fired a shot at FC Barcelona after PSG's Champions League victory on Wednesday night.

Recall that just hours before the Champions League clash between FC Barcelona and PSG, Lamine Yamal had posted a rather provocative Instagram story that ended with: "I'm back, and the mission is back." Those words didn’t intimidate Achraf Hakimi, who stated in a press conference: "It’s not up to me, but I think he’ll be playing against the best left-back in the world: Nuno Mendes. I believe he’s capable of shutting down Lamine Yamal just as he has with other attackers of a similar profile. We’ll try to help Nuno Mendes avoid one-on-ones against Lamine because we know what he can do in those situations."

Captain of PSG last night, Hakimi’s prediction proved right as Nuno Mendes dominated Lamine Yamal on his flank. In the end, PSG clinched a 1-2 win thanks to a late goal by Ramos. After the defeat, Lamine Yamal deleted his story, and Hakimi responded in turn. The Parisian full-back posted a story of Nuno Mendes with the Man of the Match trophy and a mysterious emoji, symbolizing silence.
