Paris Saint-Germain defender, Achraf Hakimi has singled out the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Gonzalo Ramos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue for praise following his side’s UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg 1-0 win against Arsenal on Tuesday.
The Morocco international said the four attackers gives PSG wing-backs power to run and attack their opponent.
A first half goal from Dembele ensured Luis Enrique’s men defeated the Gunners at Emirates Stadium.
“Yes, the coach says we are 11 attackers and 11 defenders, so when you see your strikers, Ousmane, Doue or Kvara or Gonzalo running like the first defender, they give us power to run also with them, to see we are strong all together,” Hakimi was quoted by CBS Sports Golazo as saying.
PSG will now face Arsenal in the return leg next Wednesday in Paris.
Before the encounter, the Parisians will take on Strasbourg in the French Ligue 1 this weekend.
Arsenal, meanwhile, will tackle Bournemouth in the Premier League at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
