Paris SG won the Champions Trophy for the 12th time on Wednesday January 3, following their 2-0 victory over Toulouse. Achraf Hakimi's last game before his departure to join the Moroccan national team, he put in a great performance to a standing ovation from the Parc des Princes just minutes before the end of the game. Asked about the Atlas Lion's absence from the AFCON, Paris captain Marquinhos admits that the right-back will be missed during the 3 weeks of competition.
"With the talent he has, he can do anything. He's got a big competition to play (the AFCON), and he wanted to go through the front door. He's a very important player for us. You have to go forward, but everyone has to defend. You can see it in the pressing and the returns. Yes, we're going to miss him. I hope he goes as far as he can with Morocco. We're going to miss him in any case," declared the Brazilian.
