PSG - Lyon: Achraf Hakimi’s ratings from the sports press

Achraf Hakimi failed to make his usual impact during Paris Saint-Germain’s defeat to Lyon (1-2), Sunday evening, closing out the 30th matchday of Ligue 1. In a match where the Parisian collective generally collapsed, the Moroccan international symbolized the difficulties of a team too often caught off guard, too imprecise technically and long unable to turn the tide of the match.

From the opening minutes, the Parisian right-back displayed unusual nervousness. On Lyon’s opening goal, he was singled out for his lack of aggression against Moreira, who steals the ball from him before allowing OL to strike for the first time. A few minutes later, Hakimi is again involved in the second goal, beaten in the retreat despite his recovery. L’Équipe thus highlights his "unusual technical errors" and his lapses in marking, believing he "could have done much better" on both decisive actions. The same assessment from Maxifoot, which describes a player "far too passive" on the opening goal and subsequently unable to save his teammates on the second goal.

This poor start to the match heavily weighed on his overall evaluation. CulturePSG tersely sums up his performance by judging him "dominated and late on both goals," while noting that he "did not do much better" offensively either. Le Parisien gives him a harsh 3/10, considering that he "suffered greatly defensively" against an enterprising Moreira. In the same tone, 90min insists on the spaces left behind him and his inability to truly get around the Lyon block, despite some intentions on the ball. Footmercato, which gives him 4/10, speaks of a "delicate" start and a captain absent on several important defensive sequences.

Offensively, Hakimi did try to contribute, but failed to swing the match. His runs lacked precision and especially impact, where he usually knows how to accelerate, combine and create openings. ParisFans notes that we "don’t yet see the great Achraf Hakimi," describing a player "generally less influential" and having "sometimes a bit of difficulty making a difference." His main flash came from a well-struck free kick, headed in by Ramos just before halftime, an action noted by Le Parisien as one of the rare opportunities to revive Paris.

The second half, however, offered a slightly more correct image of the Moroccan. Without regaining his usual dominance, Hakimi showed himself more diligent, cleaner in his choices and slightly more present going forward. Footmercato thus believes that his second half was "more coherent," with a player remaining serious in his attacking runs without exposing himself as much. It is undoubtedly this slight improvement that explains the leniency of VIPSG, the only media to give him an average rating, with a 6/10, praising his offensive activity despite his defensive lapses.

Ultimately, Achraf Hakimi’s performance remains clearly insufficient given his status and standards. The ratings, mostly between 3 and 4.5, reflect a disappointing performance, marked by two poorly managed defensive actions and overly limited offensive influence. In a PSG without substance, the Parisian captain failed to show the way. For a player accustomed to making a difference in big matches, this Lyon evening looks more like a serious setback than a simple accident.
