Achraf Hakimi sees decline in offensive output at PSG

Achraf Hakimi is experiencing a decline in offensive productivity and technical efficiency at Paris Saint-Germain compared to the 2024-2025 season. While his physical work rate remains high, making him one of the team's most active players, his statistical output has dropped significantly. In 2026, his goal-scoring frequency has fallen to once every 2010 minutes, down from once every 389 minutes in 2025.

Several factors contribute to this decline. Physically, Hakimi has dealt with a severe ankle sprain and a hamstring injury, resulting in approximately 80 days of absence. Tactically, the shift in team dynamics—specifically Ousmane Dembélé moving more toward the center—has disrupted the technical synergy Hakimi previously enjoyed. Additionally, the lack of a consistent partner in his corridor has impacted his decision-making and precision.

Reports also suggest that external factors, including ongoing legal proceedings regarding an accusation in France, may be weighing on the player.
