Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi addressed reporters before his team travels to Barcelona for a Champions League group stage fixture on Wednesday at Montjuic Stadium. The Moroccan international said patience will determine the outcome and expressed confidence that his side can secure victory through attention to detail. Hakimi suggested the club that maintains possession will dictate the contest and emphasized that PSG must avoid altering its approach regardless of the opponent.
The right back dismissed concerns about facing Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal and said teammate Nuno Mendes will handle defensive duties on that flank. Hakimi noted that PSG relies on collective support rather than individual matchups and believes the squad depth can compensate for absent players. The 26-year-old said he remains physically prepared to feature in consecutive matches and works with specialists to maintain peak fitness for every appearance.
