Achraf Hakimi gears up for a historic evening at Parc des Princes

Paris, France – October 2023: The excitement is palpable in the French capital as Ligue 1 resumes this Friday. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to face Toulouse FC at the iconic Parc des Princes, with one player in particular ready to mark a significant milestone under the club’s emblematic colors.

The symbolic 200th match for Hakimi

For Achraf Hakimi, this game is not just another match. The Moroccan international is set to play his 200th match in all competitions with PSG. Since his arrival from Inter Milan in the summer of 2021, Hakimi has become a crucial component of the team, adapting seamlessly to coaching changes and squad overhauls. This milestone is a testament to his enduring presence at the top level and his technical and mental leadership within the Parisian project.

Hakimi’s impact extends beyond his defensive duties. He ranks as the third highest-scoring defender across Europe’s top five leagues, with an impressive 28 goals to his name. Only Jeremie Frimpong and Alejandro Grimaldo of Bayer Leverkusen surpass him in this regard, highlighting Hakimi’s invaluable contribution to PSG’s offensive play.

International duties before the big game

Before celebrating this landmark at home, Hakimi has a commitment with the Moroccan national team. He is scheduled to play in an international friendly against Paraguay, a scenario that leaves PSG fans and management on edge. The club hopes for his safe return, avoiding any injuries, so he can enjoy his historic moment at the Parc des Princes and prepare for the crucial Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool.
