Achraf Hakimi Becomes PSG’s All-Time Assist Leader Among Defenders

Rabat—Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi has officially become the defender with the most assists in the history of Paris Saint-Germain, reaching 36 assists in official competitions with the Parisian club, according to the football statistics platform Stats du Foot.

The milestone was achieved on March 6 during the AS Monaco game, allowing Hakimi to surpass former PSG defender Maxwell, who previously held the club record with 24 assists before eventually being equaled and overtaken by the Moroccan right-back.

Since arriving in Paris in 2021, Hakimi has established himself as one of the most influential attacking defenders in European football and in the world. Across all competitions with PSG, he now totals 29 goals and 36 assists, showing his consistent offensive contribution from the right flank.

Under head coach Luis Enrique, Hakimi plays a huge role in the team’s attacking structure. His explosive pace and how easily he joins attacks have made him one of the most dangerous full-backs in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League.

Beyond this PSG record, Hakimi continues to accumulate impressive individual achievements in European competitions. The Moroccan defender notably became the first Moroccan player to score in a UEFA Champions League final, doing so during PSG’s historic title run in 2025.

He has also been recognized as one of the fastest players in the Champions League, reaching sprint speeds of an impressive 36.5 km/h, which places him among the fastest full-backs in the competition and even ahead of several attacking players.

These records prove Hakimi’s unique profile as a modern full-back—combining defensive reliability with elite attacking production and sheer speed.

Despite his strong performances, the PSG star recently received a red card against RC Strasbourg Alsace, which will see him miss the upcoming “Classique” clash against Olympique de Marseille.

At 27, Hakimi continues to strengthen his legacy at PSG, cementing his place among the most impactful defenders in the club’s history and one of the most dynamic right-backs in football right now.
