In the opening match of the 9th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain traveled to face Le Havre, securing a 1-5 victory. Speaking to PSG TV, 27-year-old full-back Achraf Hakimi—who scored a hat-trick this Friday—shared his thoughts on the impressive win.
Hakimi: “I hope to score as many goals as possible in this jersey!”
“It was a very good performance from the whole team; we’re very happy. It wasn’t easy—we conceded an early goal—but we showed the right mentality and attitude to get back into the match. That’s what matters most. It’s a great night for me, not just because of the win, but also because it’s my first hat-trick. I’m happy, and I hope to score as many goals as possible in this jersey!”
Another match, another victory for PSG, who completely overwhelmed their opponents. Despite dealing with injuries and an unusual kick-off time, Luis Enrique’s side swamped Le Havre—who had actually managed to open the scoring in the 18th minute. Once again, PSG proved that, in their current form, they are virtually impossible for any opponent to handle.
Whether from set-pieces, counter-attacks, or sustained spells of possession, the Parisians were relentless and proved too much for Le Havre to manage. Luis Enrique’s men can now turn their full attention to the Champions League and their upcoming clash with Villarreal—a side likely feeling far from confident about facing a PSG team in such stellar form.
Especially if Hakimi can keep this momentum going—though, naturally, a performance of this caliber remains a rare feat. You have to know how to savor the moment, without asking for too much—even though, naturally, one still expects a very high level of performance. The goal is to build on this year, helping the team as much as possible—whether through goals, assists, or in other ways.
