Youth League: when Achraf Hakimi played against PSG and scored against his side with Real Madrid

Ten years have passed between the last clash of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in the Youth League semi-finals and this new duel, scheduled for this Friday in Lausanne. At the time, Achraf Hakimi, 18, was in the opposite camp. In the meantime, the right-back discovered the Merengue first team, but he revealed himself at Borussia Dortmund before continuing his career at Inter Milan and PSG, since 2021.

The Parisian Titis had not reached the Final Four of the Youth League since 2016 and this confrontation against the Madrilenians. At the time, the scenario had smiled on them. Christopher Nkunku, Odsonne Édouard, Jean-Kévin Augustin, Jonathan Ikoné and their partners won at the end of the match (3-1).

Difficult start to the match for Hakimi

Unlike the Parisians, Hakimi couldn’t have started the game worse. While Édouard had crossed from inside the area, the young Merengue blocked the transmission towards his goal. The Moroccan international had time to organize himself to repel the cross in a different way, but his intervention completely surprised his own goalkeeper. The ball slowly died in the net (5th).

Borja Mayoral revived Real with a penalty half an hour into the game (33rd). However, the Titis had a good end to the match with goals from Wilfried Kanga (84th) and Augustin (90th). In the final, on the other hand, François Rodrigues’ players were stronger than them against Chelsea (2-1).
