BREAKING NEWS: He’s a magician, He performs magic and wonders with His foot, everyone in our dressing room now is currently afraid of Him, His football IQ is arguably on another level”, PSG star HAKIMI named the ONE Arsenal player that He’s afraid of meeting for the second time after what He did to Madrid – Not Saka and Not Declan Rice

In a jaw-dropping revelation that’s sending shockwaves through Europe, Paris Saint-Germain and Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi has publicly admitted that there’s one Arsenal player he’s absolutely terrified to face again—and it’s not Saka, not Martinelli, and certainly not Declan Rice.

Speaking candidly after PSG’s tight victory over Aston Villa in the Champions League, Hakimi couldn’t hide his admiration—and fear—for an Arsenal star whose display against Real Madrid left the entire PSG squad in disbelief.

“He’s not just a footballer—he’s a magician,” Hakimi confessed. “He performed real magic and wonders with his foot, and everyone in our dressing room is still talking about it. Some are laughing nervously… others just shook their heads. We’re afraid.”

Although fans instantly assumed Hakimi was referring to Bukayo Saka or even Gabriel Jesus, the Moroccan defender quickly clarified—it’s none of the usual suspects.

The player that left such an impression on Hakimi and the PSG squad was none other than Arsenal’s midfield maestro—Thomas Partey.

Yes, Partey. The Ghanaian powerhouse who often flies under the radar but has quietly become one of the most important players in Mikel Arteta’s revolution at the Emirates.

According to Hakimi, Partey’s performance against Real Madrid was not just dominant—it was orchestral. The way he controlled the midfield, read every move, broke up every counterattack, and transitioned effortlessly into attack was, in Hakimi’s own words, “something I’ve never seen before.”

“He sees the game two, three steps ahead. I tried pressing him, but he spun away like I wasn’t even there. He’s not flashy like some, but his brain? On another planet,” Hakimi added.

Partey’s commanding performance in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Madrid sealed their progression to the Champions League semi-finals with a 5-1 aggregate score. Yet, it wasn’t just the result—it was the manner in which Arsenal dominated.

Despite receiving a controversial yellow card in that match, which was initially set to rule him out of the first leg against PSG, recent developments have cleared Partey to play, sending Arsenal fans into a frenzy.

FIFA launched a thorough investigation into the incident involving Partey and Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger after an altercation led to a heated argument and eventual booking. Upon reviewing the footage and testimonies, the governing body determined that Partey was unfairly penalized and that Rudiger’s actions warranted further review.

As a result, Partey’s yellow card has been overturned, and the Arsenal midfield general is now available for selection in the upcoming semi-final clash.

This news couldn’t have come at a better time for Mikel Arteta, who is already dealing with the absence of Jorginho and uncertainty over Emile Smith Rowe’s fitness. Partey’s return means Arsenal can now deploy their most balanced and experienced midfield trio, which could prove crucial against PSG’s relentless attacking line.

Arteta, when asked about the decision, kept things measured but clearly couldn’t hide his delight. “He’s a vital part of our engine room. His presence, his discipline, and his intelligence—those are things you can’t replace easily.”

Meanwhile, the ripple effect of Hakimi’s comments is already being felt across Europe. Social media is buzzing, with fans praising Partey for finally receiving the recognition he deserves.

Even former Arsenal greats like Patrick Vieira and Gilberto Silva chimed in, applauding Partey’s evolution into one of the most cerebral midfielders in world football.

But perhaps the most poetic twist in all this is that Hakimi and PSG now have to face Partey again—this time with everything on the line. The Champions League final is just two matches away, and Hakimi knows better than anyone what Partey is capable of.

“We escaped Villa. But Arsenal? With Partey back? That’s a whole different war,” he said ominously.

Arsenal fans are already flooding social media with celebrations and countdowns to April 29th, the date of the first leg against PSG. For them, this feels like fate—a shot at destiny.

After nearly two decades without touching the Champions League final, Arsenal are just two matches away, and Partey looks determined to write his name into club history.

Whether or not they succeed against PSG, one thing is clear: Thomas Partey is no longer the unsung hero—he’s now the man even stars like Hakimi admit they fear.

As for the player himself, Partey has remained humble, tweeting just one word after the news broke:

“Ready.”

Arsenal fans, you’ve waited long enough. The Champions League dream is alive—and Partey is leading the charge.
