A legendary match that leaves its mark. PSG announced on Wednesday April 29 that Achraf Hakimi was "the victim of an injury to his right thigh" during the semi-final against Bayern Munich and will therefore be out of the semi-final return scheduled for Wednesday May 6.

The Moroccan full-back injured the back of his right thigh in the final minutes (88th) of the epic semi-final first leg on Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes but had to continue playing until the end, due to a lack of possible replacement.

“Victim of an injury to his right thigh, Achraf Hakimi will remain in treatment for the coming weeks,” his club said in a medical press release.

Questioned on Tuesday after the match on this subject, Luis Enrique did not want to "advance anything". “We’ll see what his condition is” on Wednesday, the Parisian coach simply said. Captain Marquinhos had mentioned simple “cramps”.

Present for the final and the World Cup?

According to RMC Sport, the Moroccan side could be back for a possible final, scheduled for May 30. For the moment, the participation of the captain of the Atlas Lions for the 2026 World Cup is therefore not in danger.

Bayern Munich is definitely not succeeding in Achraf Hakimi. During the clash between his team and the Bavarians in the league phase, the right back suffered an ankle injury which sidelined him between the beginning of November and the end of December, causing him to miss part of the CAN played at home.
