Hats off to Hakimi

Achraf Hakimi is enjoying the peak of his career at PSG, becoming a tactical cornerstone under Luis Enrique.

Hakimi has become a crucial attacking threat for PSG.

On June 24th, Hakimi scored against Seattle Sounders, helping PSG secure first place in Group B at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, thus once again confirming his status as one of the best right-backs in the world today.

At that moment, Hakimi accelerated from his own half, then arrived in the penalty area to shoot and score against Seattle Sounders. He also received the Man of the Match award. Hakimi impressed with 24 goal contributions this season, becoming a key player in the Parisian team's style of play under coach Luis Enrique.

However, it was the image of Hakimi looking exhausted and leaning against an advertising board in the second half against Seattle that caused concern among the French public. With a packed schedule and no true replacement in the squad, PSG must seriously consider finding a backup option for this player in the 2025 summer transfer window.

Hakimi has been playing with incredible intensity this season. From a player who was considered only suitable as a winger when he arrived in Paris in 2021, he has been transformed by Enrique into a true attacking force.

No longer just a defender, Hakimi is now a dangerous attacking threat, frequently pushing forward to exploit space and turning every run into a real threat to the opposing defense.

Hakimi has been playing very well this season.

Coach Enrique joked, "Achraf only plays as a defender when Donnarumma has the ball." Meanwhile, Hakimi confidently stated, "I've never been in better form than I am now, and that's thanks to him."

The relationship between the two is very close. PSG frequently uses Hakimi as a strategic asset whenever the opponent defends defensively. Including his latest goal at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, Hakimi has scored 10 goals and provided 14 assists in all competitions this season, an extremely impressive number for a defender.

Before Enrique arrived at Parc des Princes, Hakimi had considered leaving. But it was the Spanish coach who helped Hakimi change his mind and become one of PSG's most important pillars.

His teammates nominated him to wear the captain's armband this summer – a well-deserved reward for a player experiencing the best days of his career. In Africa, there's even a campaign calling for Hakimi to run for the 2025 Ballon d'Or.

Ahead of Hakimi and PSG is an important match in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. Having finished first in Group B, PSG will face the second-placed team in Group A, Inter Miami, in the knockout round.

PSG confidently advance to the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup. In the early hours of June 24th, PSG defeated Seattle Sounders 2-0 to secure first place in Group B of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
