The Paris Saint-Germain validated his ticket for the semifinals of the Champions League after a tense return match against Aston Villa, a qualification acquired despite a noticeable relaxation. Ashraf Hakimi, Moroccan law side, expressed an uncompromising analysis of the team’s performance, thus joining the observations of Ousmane Dembélé. He pointed out that the ease with which the team conceded two quick goals at the beginning of the second period was unacceptable for a formation aspiring to the final victory, emphasizing the need for greater responsibility and concentration on the part of all players.

Aware of the progress made by the club, notably through a rejuvenated workforce and a strengthened collective cohesion, Hakimi acknowledged the consequent work done by the management and the positive impact on the results. However, he stressed the importance of not masking persistent flaws and considering this qualification as a stepping stone to continuous improvement. The team must learn from this game and become more involved in achieving its ambitious goals.

Ultimately, Ashraf Hakimi’s message is clear: if the qualification for the semifinals is an undeniable success, it cannot hide the weaknesses to be corrected. Paris Saint-Germain continues its journey, but evolution and improvement remain essential requirements in order to achieve European consecration.
