What Achraf Hakimi produced against Le Havre will be remembered for years to come. Above all, it will occupy a special place in the Moroccan's personal record books. Operating from his usual right-back position, the PSG captain scored a hat-trick and provided two assists as the reigning two-time European champions thrashed Ligue 1's bottom side 5-1 (2-1).😩 Achraf Hakimi falls just short of a perfect FotMob 10, despite a hattrick and two assists… One big chance missed sees him just miss out on a perfect rating. πŸ’” https://t.co/gVk8wAjvg9β€” FotMob (@FotMob) October 30, 2026 Luis Enrique eventually had little choice but to take him off after his third goal – PSG's fifth of the night. The Spaniard had to bring an end to Hakimi's one-man show, with the Moroccan showing absolutely no mercy to the underdogs. Wearing the captain's armband, he was one of the few regular starters selected by the Spanish coach for Friday's encounter.Le Havre had stirred up a sleeping giant. Two outstanding runs down the right flank, producing an assist followed by a goal in the space of just 133 seconds, allowed Hakimi to turn the game on its head. After the break, he demonstrated his prowess from free-kicks before completing his remarkable evening with another assist and his hat-trick. Only then did he bow out, receiving his moment in the spotlight before heading to the bench.Bonne soirΓ©e 😜 https://t.co/O1uVrk4hnDβ€” Achraf Hakimi (@AchrafHakimi) October 30, 2026 There were several notable absentees in the PSG ranks. Ousmane Dembele, Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes, alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, were unavailable due to injuries, while Joao Neves, Willian Pacho, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Desire Doue were left on the bench.Perhaps the reshuffled line-up played a part, but PSG also appeared to underestimate their opponents. Credit must go to Le Havre, however, for the courage they showed against the favourites. The hosts started brightly and deservedly took the lead in the 18th minute, finishing off a lightning-fast counterattack that looked straight out of a video game. Josh Maja was the man who capped off the move.They should have known better than to provoke the European champions.##NAJAVA_MECA_10075976##Scene one: Lucas Hernandez delivered a pinpoint diagonal pass. Hakimi controlled it brilliantly, immediately gaining an advantage over his marker before picking out Mika Godts, who finished the move to put the ball in the net and underline his growing confidence.Scene two: Just over two minutes later, Hakimi was at it again, racing beyond the Le Havre defence. Mayulu supplied the pass, and although the assistant referee initially raised his flag for offside, VAR intervened to confirm there had been no infringement. Referee Letexier allowed the goal to stand.Scene three: A free-kick from around 20 metres. Hakimi stepped up and calmly picked out the far bottom corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Scene four: Josh Maja came agonisingly close to restoring Le Havre's advantage, heading against the post. The hosts were still recovering from that missed opportunity when, less than ten seconds later, they were picking the ball out of their own net. Hakimi slipped a perfectly weighted pass into Mayulu's path, and the young forward rounded the goalkeeper some 30 metres from goal before rolling the ball into an empty net.Scene five: Hakimi was not finished. The attack-minded full-back once again followed his teammates into the box, and Godts repaid him with an assist. Bodart saved the Moroccan's initial effort, but the ball rebounded off the man of the match and, with a healthy dose of fortune, found its way into the net.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 9Le Havre – PSG 1-5 (1-2)/Maja 18 – Godts 26, Hakimi 28, 55,69, Mayulu 62/
