Achraf Hakimi held a press conference ahead of the Champions League quarter-final against FC Barcelona.
**Defending together:** “It’s not just about Dembélé. Our coach also knows Barcelona well. But everyone knows Barcelona well. We have the same style of play. We want to control the match to secure the victory. Our strength is our collective effort. When we attack and defend together, we are stronger.”
**Bringing back the win:** “We come with a lot of desire, the desire to change what happened in the first leg. We come to win and bring the victory back to Paris. We’ve talked, we’ve motivated each other. We want to stick together to secure the win.”
**Danger will come from everywhere:** “We are very motivated. We want to show that we are ready, that we want to win, to make our supporters happy. Raphinha can cause us problems, but not just him. They have very good players, and we need to control them. We need to win our duels so they don’t feel comfortable.”
**Motivated Mbappé:** “I couldn’t play in the first leg. I wanted to help the team. We had a good game, but we didn’t manage to come out on top. Tomorrow, we’ll need to give everything to secure the victory. I feel Mbappé is very motivated, like the whole team. It’s time to show that we are ready and to change the result from the first leg.”
