Achraf Hakimi at PSG: ratings and verdict after Le Havre match

Captain in Marquinhos’ absence, Achraf Hakimi delivered a mixed performance at Le Havre: plenty of energy and attacking width on the right, but limited offensive influence. The media praised his work rate and discipline, while pointing to his management of effort after Monaco.

Captain for the evening, Achraf Hakimi was one of PSG’s reference points on the pitch at Le Havre, in a context of rotation following Monaco (Zabarnyi and Hernandez at the back, with Dro starting in midfield). His performance mainly conveyed a nuanced impression: a strong presence in his channel, but less attacking impact than usual.

In terms of his play, Hakimi regularly offered options on the right, making repeated forward runs and calling for the ball to stretch the Normandy side’s defensive block. Maxifoot highlighted that he “constantly offered an option down the flank,” while Foot Mercato (6.5) emphasized his repeated runs and his ability to contain Zouaoui for much of the match. CulturePSG (6) also acknowledged his work rate, while noting “a little waste in the final pass.”

His most notable contribution will remain an assist that was ruled out: in the first half, he set up Dro Fernandez, but the goal was disallowed for offside. The episode was also highlighted by L’Équipe (4), which felt that the Moroccan appeared to be “managing the sequence” after his heavy workload against Monaco, with “neither a very high work rate nor a huge influence.” 90min (5/10) described an interesting connection with Kang-in Lee, but felt that he “mostly calculated his efforts.” Le Parisien (5) reached a similar conclusion, mentioning few initiatives despite two shots, one of them on target.

Between the most positive assessments (up to 7 from Maxifoot and Les Titis du PSG) and the more critical ones, the conclusion is similar: a serious, disciplined performance that helped maintain balance, but was too rarely decisive to win unanimous praise. ParisFans (5.5) summed up the evening well: “a serious performance […] but without great attacking success.”
