PSG's Achraf Hakimi Red-Carded Early as Lorient Stuns League Leaders 3-1

PSG suffered a bitter defeat against FC Lorient this Sunday during the 33rd matchday of Ligue 1. Quickly reduced to 10 men after the sending off of Achraf Hakimi, the Parisians had trouble getting back into the game and were eventually beaten 3-1. The Moroccan player did not manage to make a good impression on the field, as evidenced by the ratings of the various sports media.

According to Footmercato, Hakimi was not rated, as he only spent 20 minutes on the field, the time to receive two yellow cards and a red. The first for a foul on Faivre in the 6th minute, then for a unnecessary studs-up challenge on Yongwa in the 20th minute. Goal.com did not give him a rating either, describing his performance as disappointing, following his quick dismissal and the fouls he committed.

Le Parisien, for its part, described his performance as "catastrophic", with two grotesque fouls in the space of a quarter of an hour. The first yellow card for a tackle from behind on Faivre in the 5th minute, followed by a studs-up challenge on Yongwa’s ankle in the 20th minute, which earned him a second yellow card and an expulsion.

Paristeam.fr was also not kind to the Moroccan, noting that he had been completely forgotten by Messi on the first action, and that he had lost his temper, taking two yellow cards in less than 20 minutes and reducing his team to 10 players.

Maxifoot also highlighted the gross and unnecessary fouls committed by the former Madrid player, noting that the team had necessarily suffered from his expulsion.

Finally, But Football Club did not hesitate to describe the player as a "deserter", recalling that he had been sent off in the 20th minute after a tackle on Faivre and a studs-up challenge to earn a second yellow card.
