Completely fateful night at the Parc des Princes. If the 0-2 scoreline at half-time already seemed like punishment enough, first it was Dembele who went off injured in the 25th minute and then Hakimi had to leave the field in tears after a tackle by Luis Diaz.
The action took place in stoppage time of the first action with time almost up at the level of both benches. Hakimi came out of the 'cave' driving and, when he was about to cross the halfway line, Luis Diaz made a 'scissors' that caused the Moroccan full-back to get his foot caught.
Achraf immediately writhed in pain on the ground. The alarm bells, however, went off when he began to cry inconsolably in pain. The images left no room for interpretation and, pending an official medical report, it seems that PSG's No.2 has been the victim of an extremely serious injury, with the Africa Cup of Nations on the horizon.
While the medical services helped Hakimi to get up and leave the field without even being able to put his foot down, the VAR alerted Maurizio Mariani to review the action. After considering it, he sent off Luis Diaz just before pointing the way to the dressing room.
It is Hakimi's birthday today.
