Achraf Hakimi made his mark once again. On Sunday evening, during PSG's 3-2 victory over OL, the Moroccan international scored a decisive brace, further highlighting his growing offensive impact. He opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a precise free kick before doubling the lead in the 20th minute with a curled shot. His standout performance earned praise from both teammates and observers. However, while Hakimi excelled up front, his performance was not without criticism, particularly on the defensive side. Struggling against Lyon's quick attacks, he occasionally left too much space in his right corridor. This flaw could be exploited by Liverpool, PSG's next opponent in the Champions League. Will the Lyonnais remember this celebration by Hakimi?#OLPSGpic.twitter.com/tk7fLN3eB1 — ?????? ?????? ??

After his second goal, he turned to the Lyon supporters, mimicking a provocative gesture. «It was a response to what was happening in the stands», he explained after the match. Later, he clarified that it was a nod to his compatriot Ilyas El Malki from the Kings League. The statement from @achrafhakimi on his match and his celebration dedicated to @maliki_ilyas ??
