PSG defender, Hakimi has come out to say that he doesn’t believe their group position has any effect on their mission in the UCL. He recently revealed that their current standing in the group is not a disappointment.
According to him, there are a lot of clubs who have managed to win the Champions League after finishing second in their group, so there is really nothing to worry about.
Hakimi added that the group winners can also come up against big teams, so positions change nothing.
His words, “It’s not a disappointment.”
“There are a lot of clubs who have managed to win the Champions League after finishing second in their group.”
“Even if we’re going to finish runners-up in the group, the aim is to go all the way, regardless of the opponent. The group winners can also come up against big teams. We must first think about Brugge and then about the Round of 16.”
On the game vs Club Brugge, “The stakes are to win. It’s a Champions League game, everyone wants to play those. It’s the same objective as for every game. It’s not a revenge match, but a new Champions League game,”
“We want to enjoy the game, this competition. I had already played against Brugge with Dortmund, and they’re a very good side with good players. They are very strong at home, and on Tuesday it’ll be the same.”
“They’ll want to show the same quality. The match against Monaco? I’m only thinking about Tuesday’s game. We’ll see later for the one at the weekend.”
