PSG's Achraf Hakimi Under Scrutiny After Champions League Defeat to Newcastle

After Paris Saint-Germain’s heavy defeat against Newcastle in the Champions League (1-4), the analyzes and criticisms did not wait. In particular, the performances of Achraf Hakimi, PSG’s right-back, were widely dissected. Let’s see how the various sports media perceived his performance.

According to Footmercato, Hakimi did not disappoint, giving him a score of 4.5. They specify that he was not "particularly bad", but regret a certain lack of offensive impact compared to his recent dazzling performances.

Paristream and Le Parisien focused on his defensive errors, giving him scores of 3.5 and 4 respectively. Le Parisien in particular pointed out a risky clearance from Hakimi that put his team in difficulty.

Parisfans was uncompromising, rating the Moroccan at 1.5. For the media, between missed passes and a card received unnecessarily, Hakimi’s match was far from up to par.

Dicodusport and Eurosport highlighted his rare moments of brilliance, like this masterful pass for Dembélé, while criticizing his defensive lapses. They gave scores of 3.5 and 3 respectively.

Sofoot.com chose to use irony by giving Hakimi a 4/10, with a biting comment on his alleged relationship with "the club owner".

Finally, Maxifoot points out that, despite a promising start to the season, Hakimi was less incisive against Newcastle, noting a certain timidity in attack.
