Achraf Hakimi, Paris Saint-Germain’s 27-year-old right wing-back, spoke to Ligue1+ after PSG’s 2-2 draw against Lille this Friday at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, in Matchday 2 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season.
Marquinhos: “Our mentality is the strong point of this start to the season.”
It’s tough, yet you’re still right there in the mix?
Yes, that’s the truth. Our mentality is the strong point of this start to the season, even though we know we’re far from playing at 100%. It’s the start of the season—we aren’t making excuses, but we didn’t have much of a break; we’re just getting back, whereas other teams had much more time to prepare.
These are rivals, Champions League-level teams. These are high-level, very difficult matches. We try to give our all, and we can see that it comes down to just a few details. It’s the details that make the difference in the results.
Marquinhos: “These are points that will count.”
There are goals we shouldn’t be conceding. We rely on our mentality and the energy brought by the players who came off the bench. We managed to fight back to level the score; these are important points. At the end of the season, these are the points that will count.
