Achraf Hakimi and PSG at a Crossroads

The Paris anomaly continues to intrigue observers. Dominant on the European stage, the capital club displays a far more contrasted face on the domestic scene.

It is in this context of mounting pressure that a crucial week unfolds. PSG will host Lyon, before facing Nantes and then Angers in just seven days. Three victories would allow Luis Enrique’s men to open up a minimum seven-point lead over their pursuers. Such a gap would virtually guarantee the French championship title, despite a relentless schedule. The Spanish coach was indeed very optimistic in his press conference: "The players love the final sprint of the competition because it’s the moment to win trophies."

This packed schedule will offer the opportunity to rotate the squad. Players like Dro Fernandez, Lucas Beraldo and Gonçalo Ramos should benefit from significant playing time. This triptych is also a chance for some key players to regain rhythm before the major challenge against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, a priority objective for the club and its stars, including Achraf Hakimi.
