Achraf Hakimi, who scored twice in Paris Saint-Germain’s 3-2 victory over Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday in Ligue 1, drew attention with a peculiar celebration after his first goal.
Did Achraf Hakimi intend to taunt Lyon supporters? By placing a finger to his lips, the Moroccan right-back appeared to be sending a message, seemingly telling them to keep quiet.
However, after the match, Hakimi was quick to clarify his gesture in the mixed zone. He explained that it was a tribute to Ilyas El Maliki, who used the celebration in the Kings League.
“I wanted to do this celebration when I scored,” he stated, putting an end to any misunderstanding regarding possible provocation.
