Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi has received red cards in two consecutive Ligue 1 matches, as reported by Squawka. On Saturday, May 13, during the 35th matchday against Ajaccio, Hakimi was sent off by referee Pierre Gaillou in the 77th minute. The incident occurred during a mass confrontation on the pitch following a foul on Lionel Messi.
In the middle of the altercation, Hakimi pushed Corsican midfielder Thomas Mangani in the chest. After reviewing the video footage, the referee decided to send off Mangani as well, as he had hit Hakimi's arm after the initial push. This series of events not only highlighted the tension in the match, but also raised questions about the players' conduct and discipline.
Earlier in the match, Hakimi had scored PSG's second goal in the 33rd minute, showcasing his attacking prowess amid the chaos that followed. However, his sending off overshadowed what could have been a stellar performance, leaving fans and analysts concerned about his aggressive approach on the pitch.
With these two consecutive red cards, Hakimi is at risk of being suspended, which could impact his availability for the upcoming crucial matches as PSG look to consolidate their position in the league and progress in European competitions. It is essential for him to find a balance between maintaining his competitive edge and exercising control to avoid further disciplinary issues. As the season progresses, Hakimi must reflect on his actions and strive to contribute positively to his team's efforts on the pitch.
