Achraf Hakimi’s Emotional Reaction as Luis Diaz Is Sent Off for Horrific Tackle After Scoring Twice in PSG Match
In a dramatic encounter at the Parc des Princes, Achraf Hakimi showcased a heart-wrenching display of emotion following a violent tackle by Luis Diaz during a match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Bayern Munich. The clash formed part of the UEFA Champions League league phase.
Luis Diaz’s Disastrous Tackle
During the match, Luis Diaz scored two crucial goals for Bayern Munich, setting the tone for the first half. However, the Colombian’s actions turned grim as he was sent off in the seventh minute of added time. The initial yellow card was revised to a red card after a VAR review, following a reckless tackle on Hakimi.
Key Events of the Match
- Match Venue: Parc des Princes, Paris
- Luis Diaz’s Goals: 4th minute (first goal), 32nd minute (second goal)
- Hakimi’s Injury: Resulted from a horror tackle, leading to an emotional scene
- Red Card Incident: VAR intervention overturned a yellow to a red card for Diaz
Hakimi was visibly upset, breaking down in tears as he left the field. The defender was celebrating his 27th birthday, and the tackle further complicated his fitness ahead of the upcoming African Cup of Nations, which Morocco is set to host.
Impact on PSG and Future Matches
The injury to Hakimi and an early exit for star player Ousmane Dembele significantly affected PSG’s performance. Despite Joao Neves managing to score in the 74th minute, PSG was unable to equalize. The match ended with Bayern Munich securing a memorable win.
With the suspension of Luis Diaz, Bayern will be without him during their critical match against Arsenal later this month, impacting their strategies in the tournament.
