Paris Saint-Germain Defender Hakimi shared Donnarumm’s division as “one of the best goalkeepers in the world”

Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi says playing in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goalkeeper brings confidence.

Donnarumma had his critics, but he answered with a series of impressive displays-more and more against Liverpool on Anfield-how would foreign Luis Enrique in the Champions League semi-finals.

Another clean leaf of Donnarumma will be enough to see them, and Hakimi says he has complete belief in the great Italian.

“I think you can already see that he’s one of the best goalkeepers in the world,” Hakimi said.

“We have so much confidence in him. Some doubted him, but we always supported him and we saw that he had always reacted in the best way.

“He gives us so much confidence in such games.”

Hakimi pleased to be available to ‘Genius’ Dembele

At the other end of the field, PSG will be encouraged by the availability of Ousman’s attacker who will play after overcoming the stress of the knees held in northern London.

“He is a guy of a player who makes you want to go to the stadium to watch because he’s a genius on the ball, even if he doesn’t have much chance,” Hakimi said.

“He can change the course of the game, so we are delighted to have brought him back to that.”

Same again from PSG intended for an attack

PSG has created strong exciting appearances in the Champions League this season, built around a smart movement in the middle of the field and a glittering tempo in the attack.

And although they have an advantage in protection against Arsenal, Hakimi does not anticipate the change of their philosophy.

Morocco international said: “These are the games every player and every child dreams of being involved and we have to channel it the right way.

“I don’t think our style of play will change. The coach has always sent a clear message that is to win or lose our style of play will never change.”
