Even though PSG and Stade de Reims played to a 2-2 draw in Sunday’s Parc des Princes match, many PSG fans would consider the result as a loss.
It was in the seventh minute that Reims launched their assault. Oumar Diakité was found in the penalty area by Junya Ito’s long diagonal pass. Despite the pass’s apparent proximity to Keylor Navas, he allowed it to run as Achraf Hakimi tracked behind.
Diakité put a lot of pressure on the Moroccan international, and he got himself into a jam. Before long, Hakimi gave the ball away close to his own goal, and Diakité set up Marshall Munetsi for a tap-in goal to put the game away.

Hakimi has played for Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, and PSG during his career, having risen through the ranks of Real Madrid’s academy. But new rumors in Mundo Deportivo suggest that Hakimi is receptive to the idea of rejoining current Real Madrid teammate Kylian Mbappé at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Hakimi’s deal with PSG ends in 2026, thus the club will likely have to sell the fast right back this summer if they want a sizable transfer fee. Rather than depending on superstars, PSG’s new sporting aim is to nurture young players and build a strong core, and his departure would help solidify this goal.
