Luis Enrique and his students led 1-0 in the first leg in Paris, and after a strong start from Arsenal, the Ligue 1 team punished teachers and coach Mikel Arteta for not taking advantage of the opportunity when Fabian Ruiz scored to help PSG take the lead 1-0. Achraf Hakimi doubled the gap in the second half before Bukayo Saka scored for Arsenal, but this did not reduce the shine of PSG that night.
Erling Haaland, who watched both Champions League semi -finals, showed an impression on the performance of a PSG player. Hakimi scored the decisive goal in the match, but his overall performance against Arsenal was much more appreciated. The right -back Morocco makes Gabriel Martinelli silence throughout the match time, and use his speed and technique to make it difficult for Arsenal.
Hakimi is considered one of the best players in the world in this position and his performance has attracted Haaland’s attention. Man City’s striker posted a picture of Hakimi on Snapchat with the caption: “Hakimi is wonderful.”
Haaland, who played with Hakimi at Borussia Dortmund, did not miss the opportunity to praise his former teammate. He also praised the goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma of PSG, who made important saves in the first half.
With Kyle Walker preparing to finish his career at Etihad, Man City will search for a right defender in the summer transfer window. Hakimi will be the ideal addition to Pep Guardiola’s team thanks to the combination of experience and appropriate age.
