‘Arsenal need to feel that we’re at the Parc des Princes’ – Achraf Hakimi’s war cry ahead of Arsenal second leg | OneFootball

Speaking to the press ahead of Paris Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League semi-final second-leg against Arsenal, defender Achraf Hakimi has emphasised the importance of playing at the Parc des Princes in front of a home crowd, and has called on supporters to make as much of a hostile atmosphere as possible to welcome the North London side. “I think the key will be to do what we’ve been doing since the start of the season, to show personality when we don’t have the ball and not give our opponents any gifts,” said Hakimi in a press conference transcribed by RMC Sport. “Since I’ve been in Paris, I’ve felt the support of the fans. Tomorrow, we’ll need it more than ever. Arsenal need to feel that we’re at the Parc des Princes.”“The atmosphere is going to be incredible. We want to send a very clear message: we’re going to give it our all for them, to make them proud. There have been difficult times and they’ve always been behind us. They deserve it.”Les Parisiens go into the clash with a slender 1-0 lead taken at the Emirates, thanks to Ousmane Dembélé’s strike early on. The Frenchman is set to return to the PSG side, after he had to be taken off injured in the first-leg, and missing Les Parisiens’ trip to Strasbourg last weekend. GFFN | George Boxall
