PSG manager Luis Enrique was thoroughly impressed by Achraf Hakimi's performance on Wednesday night against Barça, showering the Moroccan with high praise.

Once again, PSG relied on the contributions of full-backs Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes on Wednesday night to make the difference against FC Barcelona in the Champions League. Speaking to the press after the victory, Parisian coach Luis Enrique heaped praise on both the Moroccan and the Portuguese stars.

"The two best full-backs in the world on the right and left? Without a doubt. For me, they are simply the best. When you play as high up the pitch as we do with two players this quick, you can prepare for the match with confidence. We played at an excellent level," said the Spanish tactician.
