PSG's Hakimi Shines in Second Half of 6-0 Rout Against Montpellier

The Parc des Princes was the scene of a real show of force by Paris Saint-Germain against Montpellier, with a resounding 6-0 victory. The Moroccan Achraf Hakimi was again brilliant yesterday. Let’s see what the sports press says.

While the second half was one of fulfillment for Hakimi, the first half was marked by some inaccuracies. As Footmercato points out, "the former Borussia Dortmund player had some waste in a few transmissions and his offensive projections did not really bring danger." Le Parisien agrees, mentioning "a few small flaws" at the start of the game.

It was on returning from the locker room that the Parisian right-back truly took flight. "On returning from the locker room, the Parisian number 2 came back by showing himself to be more incisive both in his duels and his offensive flights," analyzes Footmercato. This rise in power was reflected in a superb goal, a volley shot praised by Le Parisien and Maxifoot, as well as an assist for Lee, highlighting his decisive offensive contribution.

Beyond his individual performance, Hakimi seems to thrive in the new system implemented by Luis Enrique. As Parisfans notes, "Lateral, midfielder, winger, Luis Enrique has defined a new role for Hakimi: to be everywhere." This versatility, combined with his rediscovered offensive contribution, makes Hakimi a major asset for PSG this season.

"We saw him with a big smile, proof that he is delighted with the course of his match," concludes Parisfans. This smile is that of a player who was able to overcome a difficult start to the game to shine brightly in the second half, greatly contributing to his team’s wide victory. If Hakimi manages to maintain this level of performance throughout the season, he will undoubtedly be one of the key men for PSG in their quest for titles. Good omen for the Moroccan national team.
