Achraf Hakimi, the 27-year-old right wing-back for Paris Saint-Germain, spoke to Canal+ following a 4-2 victory over FC Barcelona this Tuesday at the Parc des Princes, as part of the third matchday of the 2026-2027 Champions League league phase.
Hakimi: “I’m tired by the end.”
How are you feeling?
Good evening, everyone. We’re tired—we did a lot of running—but we’re happy with the win.
It’s been a while since you last scored, hasn’t it?
I’m tired by the end—really tired. You know, I always try to give my absolute best on the pitch, but I end up exhausted. I’m happy about the assist, and as you mentioned, it has been a while since I scored. I had a few chances, but the ball just wouldn’t go in this time.
Hakimi: “We hope it’s nothing serious.”
Are these the kinds of matches where you want to send a statement? And how are the injured players doing?
When you play against teams of this caliber—these are the matches we love to play in—we try to show our true level. We’re an ambitious side, and we wanted to keep our winning streak going. I haven’t seen Marquinhos yet. As for Ousmane, he’s set to have an MRI tomorrow, just like Kvara. We’re hoping it’s nothing serious.
