Achraf Hakimi in competition with Lamine Yamal for a special European issue

Moroccan full-back Achraf Hakimi continues his good start with Paris Saint-Germain in the new 2024-25 French League season, where he scored a goal and provided an assist in the first two rounds, with a distinguished performance both on a physical and technical level.

According to football statistics platform WhoScored, Achraf Hakimi ranks fourth on the list of players with the most correct passes in the final third of the pitch across the five major European leagues this season, with 59 passes.

Passes in the final third of the pitch are among the most difficult decisions for players to make, due to their proximity to the opposing goal and their exposure to constant pressure from the defensive lines, as they are an indicator of the quality of the players’ passing and behaviour under pressure.

Kevin De Bruyne sits first with 64 correct passes in the final third of the field, followed by Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal with 62 passes, then Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji with 61 passes, and then Ashraf Hakimi in fourth place.
