Paris Saint-Germain had a perfect night in the Champions League, winning 4-1 against Stuttgart in the final group-stage match. This convincing victory allowed Luis Enrique’s team to climb to 15th place in the overall standings, securing a spot in the playoffs. Thanks to this performance, the Parisians also have the opportunity to host the return leg. The draw on Friday will determine the opponent for the Rouge et Bleu, but it is already certain that it will be a 100% French duel, with PSG facing Brest or Monaco, the two clubs that finished 17th and 18th in the group.
Achraf Hakimi was once again imperious on the field. The Moroccan international provided an assist for PSG’s third goal with a superb through ball to Ousmane Dembélé. The latter then delivered a perfectly placed strike under the bar to complete a magnificent hat-trick. Hakimi’s involvement in this quick and precise play allowed PSG to widen the gap and secure the victory. With the score at 4-0, Hakimi was substituted in the 69th minute, a substitution that seemed to disappoint the player, even though he had contributed greatly to the team’s dominant performance.
His impact on the game was evident: solid defensively and valuable offensively, he once again proved to be an indispensable player for Luis Enrique’s team. PSG is now looking ahead to the playoffs, hoping the club can maintain the same mindset going forward.
