3rd half for Hakimi, 2 Senegalese in the running
Four African players can still believe in the title. We find the Parisians Ashraf Hakimi (Morocco) and Ibrahim Mbaye (Senegal), semi-finalists for the third time and the second consecutive time respectively, another Senegalese, Nicolas Jacksondid not come into play during these quarters for Bayern, and finally the Nigerian Ademola Lookmanscorer Tuesday with Atlético.
For Jackson, it will be his first in C1 while Lookman will taste his second half six years after his baptism of fire under the colors of Leipzig. Note that only Hakimi and Mbaye have already been crowned, just once, last year with PSG. In the event of a double, they will join the closed circle of Samuel Eto’o or Geremi Njitap.
