Barcelona is preparing to face Paris Saint-Germain tomorrow, Wednesday, at Montjuïc Stadium, in the second round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, at 10 PM Cairo time. Achraf Hakimi, a player for Paris Saint-Germain, spoke during the press conference regarding the team's preparations and readiness for the anticipated match.

Hakimi said about the key to winning the match: "I believe that the deciding factor will be the team that does not rush. The match will be decided by small details, and I hope the balance tips in our favor."

Regarding the matchup against Barcelona's winger Lamine Yamal, he said: "You know he is not on my side; I believe he will play against the best left-back in the world, which is Nuno Mendes, who has been able to stop other players. The strength of our team lies in mutual support, so we will try to avoid individual confrontations."

On the philosophy of both teams in the match: "We don't like to chase the ball, and I think whoever controls possession will control the match. We should not rush; it's important to start the match well, and we should not change our style of play. The coach always says that regardless of the opponent, our style remains constant."

Regarding the match schedule and fitness, he said: "In an interview, I said that if I have to play in every match, I will do it. This means we have reached the final and are doing well. If we have to face the same matches as last season, I will do it. I am a competitor; I do not think about injuries. I try to play in the best way possible and recover well. I work with professionals off the field to be 100% ready for every possible match."

On Barcelona's desire for revenge against Paris Saint-Germain: "I have a good memory from the last time we came here. It will be a tough match, tomorrow against an opponent with a similar style to ours. It will be a beautiful match to play and watch."

On how he can help the team and the absences: "I will try to help my teammates with my experience. We have important absences, but it does not change much. We have a great squad, and my teammates are ready. We are ready to win."

On his physical condition and a mistake by his teammate Chevalier: "I am fine physically and mentally for this type of match. Like Chevalier, he has the confidence of the team and the club. I am sure he will have an exceptional match tomorrow."

On being among the nominees for the Ballon d'Or: "It is not disappointing to be sixth in the Ballon d'Or. It is great to be among the top 30 players. I did not expect that. When I play, I do not think about individual awards. The coach spoke about collective titles, and then you decide and vote. I am proud."

On the atmosphere of the fans and the stadium before the match: "It is great to have our fans with us. I remember the match two years ago and the celebration after the last goal. It is wonderful to return to this stadium. I think the recipe is simple: continue doing what we have been doing for all these years, controlling the ball, showing character and responsibility, and managing the game according to our idea, whether with the ball or without it. Just as everyone wants to influence us, we will not back down but will influence them. We will play the match face to face and will try to collect the three points and win."

On the team's condition before the match: "I see the team in good shape, excited and eager to start the match. We are in the best conditions, and we will prove that. We will help the coach, and we will make the right decisions to be in the best shape tomorrow and prepare well."
