Paris Saint-Germain have been urged to ease the growing criticism aimed at Achraf Hakimi, with calls for the club and its supporters to give the Morocco international time to breathe after a demanding period.
Hakimi has been one of PSG’s most used players again this season, carrying a heavy workload in both domestic competitions and Europe. The right-back is also a key figure for Morocco, which has added to the number of matches and the pressure around him.
In recent weeks, the tone around his performances has become harsher. Some reaction has gone beyond normal football debate, with the defender facing strong public attacks despite his consistent effort and importance to the team’s balance.
The message coming from those close to the situation is clear: at PSG, the “lynch party” has to stop. Hakimi is being asked to do a lot, and the club is being encouraged to protect one of its leaders instead of allowing the noise to grow.
It is also being revealed that Hakimi is in need of rest, as the intense schedule has left him physically and mentally stretched. The suggestion is that managing his minutes and lowering the tension around him would help him return to his best level.
For PSG, the situation is not just about one player. With major targets still ahead, keeping key names fresh and confident could be decisive, and Hakimi remains one of the players the team cannot afford to lose to fatigue or constant pressure.
