Achraf Hakimi delivered a standout performance for Paris Saint-Germain in a high-scoring 4-2 victory against FC Barcelona, providing a crucial assist while playing a heavy workload on the pitch, Foot Mercato reported. The Moroccan right-back played all 90 minutes in a match marked by intense running and high offensive output from both European giants.

The 4-2 Scoreline and the Assist That Sealed the Result

Paris Saint-Germain secured a 4-2 win over Barcelona, with Hakimi contributing directly to the final goal of the night. Late in the fixture, the defender surged forward to set up teammate Fabian Ruiz for PSG’s fourth goal of the match. While Hakimi found himself with multiple opportunities to get on the scoresheet himself, his efforts yielded an assist rather than a personal goal, according to Foot Mercato’s match report.

Physical Toll of the Match and Post-Game Reactions

Speaking after the final whistle, Hakimi acknowledged the demanding physical toll of facing an opponent of Barcelona’s caliber. In a post-match exchange broadcast on Canal Football Club, the defender smiled while speaking with former Morocco national team coach Walid Regragui, admitting that the squad ran extensively throughout the 90 minutes.

Fatigued, we ran a lot, but happy for the victory and the three points, Hakimi told the broadcaster, as cited by Foot Mercato. I am tired, on the field I try to give my maximum, but I am tired at the end.

The right-back also expressed contentment with his offensive contribution despite missing out on a goal of his own. I am very happy for my assist. As you say, it’s been a long time since I scored, today again I had chances to score, but it didn’t work out, he said. When you play teams of this quality, these are matches we like to play and where we try to show our level. We are ambitious and we want to keep winning.

Upcoming Schedule and Squad Focus

Following the 4-2 European victory against Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain turns its attention back to domestic and continental fixtures as the club attempts to maintain its momentum. The squad faces a rigorous upcoming calendar, with coaching staff managing player fitness following high-intensity matches like the one at Parc des Princes.
