Rabat – Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi says Paris Saint-Germain are determined to achieve something special this season after helping the French champions beat Barcelona 4-2 in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
Hakimi provided an assist for Fabián Ruiz’s late goal as PSG secured an important victory at the Parc des Princes, extending their winning start in the competition to three matches.
According to Foot Mercato, which cited Canal+, Hakimi admitted he was tired after an intense encounter but expressed satisfaction with the result and his contribution.
“I’m very happy with my assist. I had chances to score today, but it didn’t work out,” the Moroccan right-back said
“When we play against teams of this quality, we enjoy playing these kinds of games… We are ambitious and want to keep winning,” he added.
PSG overcame a determined Barcelona side, with Désiré Doué, Lucas Hernández, Vitinha, and Ruiz scoring for the hosts. Barcelona equalized twice through Xavi Espart and Lamine Yamal before Vitinha and Ruiz secured the victory.
The result handed Barcelona their first defeat of the season across all competitions, while PSG moved to nine points from three Champions League matches.
Hakimi’s attacking contribution once again highlighted his importance in Luis Enrique’s squad, with the Moroccan continuing to play a key role in PSG’s European campaign.
