Paris Saint-Germain defender, Achraf Hakimi has issued a warning to Barcelona prodigy, Lamine Yamal ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

Barcelona will play host to the UCL holders at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys with Yamal returning after missing the opener against Newcastle due to injury.

The 18-year-old winger is expected to dazzle on the night, but Hakimi said Yamal would have ‘world-best left-back’ Nuno Mendes to contend with.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Hakimi said, “Lamine is not on my side, but he will be up against the best left-back in the world in Nuno Mendes.

“He is capable of stopping him, as he has done already, and as he has stopped other attackers with the same style as Lamine in the past. He is well prepared.”
