Moroccan Star’s Emotional Injury Exit Overshadows Bayern’s Champions League Victory Over PSG
A night of Champions League football in Paris was marred by a distressing scene as Achraf Hakimi was carried from the pitch in tears following a reckless challenge from Bayern Munich’s Luis Diaz that left the Moroccan international in visible agony.
The emotional exit overshadowed Bayern’s 2-1 victory, which had been spearheaded by Diaz’s first-half brace. The Colombian winger turned from hero to villain in stoppage time with a desperate, sliding tackle that caught Hakimi’s ankle, prompting immediate concern from players and fans alike.
After a VAR review, the referee upgraded Diaz’s initial yellow card to a straight red. While Bayern held on for the win with ten men, attention immediately shifted to Hakimi’s well-being and his potential availability for the African Cup of Nations, which Morocco will host this winter.
The sight of the distraught defender sparked immediate fears among supporters, with social media reactions reflecting widespread concern about both the severity of the injury and the possibility of Hakimi missing the prestigious tournament in his home country.
The extent of the injury remains unknown, leaving PSG and Moroccan fans anxiously awaiting medical updates ahead of the continental championship.
