PSG/Liverpool – Hakimi sets the tone for the return leg | OneFootball

Achraf Hakimi, the 27-year-old right wing-back for Paris Saint-Germain, spoke to Canal+ after Paris’ 2-0 win over Liverpool (PSG/Liverpool highlights) this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League quarter-finals (return leg on April 14). 

Hakimi: “we want to play like that in the return leg.”

There were two situations that could have led to penalties, what did you make of the referee’s decisions?

I haven’t seen the incidents again yet. On the pitch, you think it’s a penalty, but then the referee didn’t see it and we have to respect the decisions. We’re happy with the match.

Did you need to score more tonight?

I think we had clear chances to score more goals. We didn’t score, and we left Liverpool a little bit alive for the return leg. We’re happy with the performance and we want to play like that in the return leg.

Hakimi: “We don’t want to wait and see what Liverpool will do”

Liverpool won’t be able to play like that with that strategy in the return leg?

That doesn’t depend on us. We have to keep going with the same strategy and do what we’ve been doing for a long time. We don’t want to wait and see what Liverpool will do, we’re going to do the things we just did throughout the whole match. We have to keep going like that.
