Acknowledging the difficulty of playing against Liverpool, Achraf Hakimi hopes to enjoy the game with his teammates.

French Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain will travel to Anfield to face Premier League side Liverpool in the second leg of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League quarter-final. Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi stated in a press conference that the team is aware of the challenges facing Liverpool, but still hopes to enjoy the game with his teammates.

In the first leg, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Liverpool 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Due and Kvalatschlia.

However, in the earlier Premier League match, Liverpool defeated Fulham 2-0 with goals from Ngumoha and Salah, boosting the confidence of Sloot's team.

Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi said, "I don't think there are any favorites in a competition like this. The team's mentality is positive and full of confidence. Tomorrow will be a big game for us, and we must remain highly focused. We know the atmosphere will be very exciting, and we understand the power of Liverpool fans, but our fans will also be there to support us."

“We have to pay attention to every detail. We know Liverpool will give their all, so we have to do the same. The difference compared to last season is that we are more confident now. We are the champions of this competition, which has taught us how to deal with games like this.”

Achraf continued, "The arrival of coach Enrique has changed my understanding of football, especially as a full-back. His philosophy has been very beneficial, and I think this is reflected in the performances of Nuno Mendes and myself on the field."

"Marquinhos is our captain and our leader. But when he's not around, I'll try my best to convey the message he tells us, which is that we must give our all for this jersey and the club."

Furthermore, Ashraf added, "The most important thing is that we all enjoy playing together, and we hope to continue enjoying the game and celebrating with the fans and our families. This is our primary goal, and it's what we're doing."
