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

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."
