Achraf Hakimi Debuts New Look and Jokes After Paris Saint-Germain’s Victory Over Lyon
Achraf Hakimi caught everyone’s attention with an unexpected transformation ahead of PSG vs. Lyon. After the Parisian side’s victory, the Moroccan shared a message that revealed his playful side.
Achraf Hakimi caught everyone’s attention ahead of the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais. The Moroccan right-back arrived at the Parc des Princes sporting a new braided hairstyle that quickly sparked comments among fans.
His appearance drew comparisons to Sean Paul, the Jamaican singer, because of his hairstyle. The transformation became one of the talking points of a night that ended with a Parisian victory.
Hakimi’s Joke Also Reveals His Love for Paris
After the 2-0 victory over Lyon, the defender took to social media to joke about his hairstyle and express his connection to the club. “Braids tightly woven, just like my ties with Paris,” he wrote, according to posts sharing his message.
The line turned a change of look into a way of showing his loyalty to PSG. With humor and just a few words, Hakimi made it clear that his braids weren’t the only things tightly connected that night: he also wanted to highlight his bond with the Parisian side.
Hakimi Delivers on the Pitch and Wears the Captain’s Armband
His new look wasn’t the only reason he stood out. Hakimi started the match and wore the captain’s armband in the absence of Marquinhos, who is recovering from an injury. The Moroccan took on that responsibility in a game PSG settled with two goals and a clean sheet.
The victory over Lyon gave PSG a positive result, while Hakimi combined his on-field contributions with an appearance that sparked conversation off the pitch.
A New Look Turns Into a Parisian Declaration
The night also coincided with the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony, which Hakimi was unable to attend because of his league commitment. The defender finished 13th in the rankings.
Between the victory, the captaincy, and his social media post, Hakimi enjoyed a night with plenty of attention. A joke about his hairstyle became a clever way to reaffirm his connection to Paris as PSG continues its campaign.
