Paris Saint-Germain beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup on Saturday (video highlights PSG/Bayern Munich). After the match, 26-year-old full-back Achraf Hakimi spoke to PSG TV.
Hakimi “we showed character after the two red cards.”
“They were a very tough opponent. We knew that this type of match is won on small details. With today’s difficulties, we showed character to win. We won and that’s the most important thing. The mental aspect is also very important.
Before we left the dressing room, we said to ourselves that the physical aspect and the mental aspect would be very important. We’ve got the quality because we’ve worked hard. But the mental side is the most important at this stage of the season, and we showed character after the two red cards.”
A match worthy of the great Champions League evenings on Saturday. Once again, PSG showed their strength of character by breaking through from 9 to 11 in a match that was already very difficult. Luis Enrique’s men showed the same determination they have shown throughout their European campaign.
They seem determined to win another trophy, this time on top of the world. Next up is Real Madrid, and what better way to boost their motivation than by taking on Kylian Mbappé and Co.
