PSG Clinches Champions League Title as Hakimi Shines in 5-0 Rout of Inter Milan

It’s a night that Parisian supporters won’t soon forget. In Munich, Paris Saint-Germain wrote one of the most beautiful pages in its history by dominating the Champions League final against Inter Milan (5-0). In this collective demonstration, one individual particularly shone: Achraf Hakimi, who delivered a very high-level performance. The Moroccan international was unanimously praised by the press, who see him as one of the great architects of the triumph.
Starting on the right flank of the defense, Hakimi launched his team in the best possible way by scoring the first goal of the match in the 12th minute, following a perfect assist from Ange Doué. "He will remain the first goalscorer in PSG’s history in a Champions League final," emphasizes RMC, which gives him a rating of 8/10. A goal that set the tone for a one-sided evening.
While his opening goal made an impression, it’s his overall performance that commands admiration. Tireless, explosive, and technically precise, Hakimi multiplied his runs, calls behind the defense, and defensive efforts. "With a Formula 1 engine in his belly, he ran everywhere, all the time," writes Le Figaro, which awards him an 8.5/10. Inter Milan, overwhelmed in duels, never found a solution to stop him.
All media agree that Hakimi was one of the best players on the field. Footmercato describes him as "absolutely everywhere," going "even to the left-wing position to bring numerical superiority," with a rating of 8.5/10. So Foot, more lyrical, gives him 9/10, noting that "something is missing when a goalscorer doesn’t celebrate in a Champions League final, but everyone will be content with it." A reference to the sobriety of his reaction after his goal, as if he was already keeping a cool head in the midst of the storm.
The impact of the Moroccan full-back was such that his opposite number, Federico Dimarco, was replaced shortly after the start of the second half. "His accelerations put Dimarco through torture," notes Franceinfo, which gives him 8/10. The same observation from Goal, which praises a player "piercing offensively, diligent defensively," and remembers his "shot in the box" as the starting point of the Parisian fireworks (8/10).
Since the arrival of the Spanish coach, Hakimi seems to have reached a new level. "He has taken on a new dimension under Luis Enrique," writes Eurosport, giving him an 8/10. "His leadership has infused his teammates," adds the media, highlighting a complete season worthy "of the best player in the world in his position."
Even L’Équipe, traditionally more severe in its evaluations, praises "the great merit of putting his team on track," while noting a "superb breakthrough in relay with Dembélé" and a "constant presence in the opponent’s half." His rating: 8/10.
Beyond this exceptional final, it’s Hakimi’s entire season that impresses. Maxifoot, which gives him the highest rating (9/10), writes that "the Moroccan right-back confirmed his status as the best player in the world in his position," highlighting his "exceptional generosity after more than 50 matches in his legs."
Achraf Hakimi not only launched the final, but he also embodied the conquering face of a PSG that has finally reached the stars. His performance in Munich will remain, like the score, etched in the annals.
