Rabat – “This felt like one of the most incredible games I’ve experienced since joining PSG” Achraf Hakimi said after yesterday’s Champions League triumph over Manchester City. The visibly simple comment perfectly captured the euphoria that swept through the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening.

Paris Saint-Germain, facing a daunting 2-0 deficit against Manchester City, staged an impressive comeback to secure a thrilling 4-2 victory in the UEDA Champions League.

A key figure throughout the match, Hakimi noted the importance of this triumph for the team’s morale and confidence. “When you’re losing 2-0, there’s no room for fear,” he explained.

“You lift your head, you fight, and you go for the win. After our first goal, we knew we could turn it around, and we kept going until the end.”

The unwavering support of the PSG faithful played a major role in inspiring the team’s resurgence. “The way the supporters backed us made a difference,” Hakimi acknowledged. “Their spirit mirrored ours, and it carried us to this victory.”

PSG’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma also commented on the match, calling it unforgettable.

“We started the second half poorly, conceding two goals too quickly. But the team’s reaction was extraordinary. Everyone gave their best, and the fans played their part too. This result gives us renewed confidence for what’s ahead,” said Donnarumma.

Meanwhile, midfielder Joao Neves pointed to the importance of staying true to the team’s philosophy. “Even when we were down, we stayed focused on our approach. That’s what led to this result. This is an important step, but the journey continues,” he said.

This match saw City coach Guardiola pit his wits against PSG’s Luis Enrique, his close friend and former teammate at Barcelona.

With this victory, PSG has strengthened its position in the Champions League and can now hope of qualification as it sets its sights on the next match against Stuttgart on January 29.
