Achraf Hakimi recalled good memories of Borussia Dortmund. Player of the German club between 2018 and 2020, the PSG full-back did not miss his reunion with his former team on Tuesday evening, during the first day of the Champions League at the Parc des Princes. Involved in a one-two with Ousmane Dembélé, another former BvB player, he had already contributed to the first Parisian goal, scored by Kylian Mbappé following this action, in the 49th minute of play.
But the best was yet to come for the Moroccan. He himself took it upon himself to give the Parisians a break in the lead nine minutes later. Refocused, around forty meters from the German goal, Hakimi requested a one-two with Vitinha in the Borussia area. After inheriting the ball from the Portuguese’s delivery, he eliminated a defender with a subtle hook before adjusting the goalkeeper with a masterful outside right foot. A class gesture.
