The clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyon lived up to expectations, but the tension did not stop even after the final whistle.

Achraf Hakimi did not like the behavior of young Brazilian, Endrick, who celebrated in front of the Paris fans after scoring the first goal of the match, in Lyon's 2-1 victory.

Endrick played a big role in the 2-1 result, scoring the first goal, and then providing an assist for the second goal.

This result went against Lens, who are now one point below PSG, who are first in the Ligue 1 table.

The pressure is mounting for Luis Enrique's team, which must regain form in order to avoid collapsing in the final weeks of the championship.

However, it wasn't the goal that frustrated Hakimi, but Endrick's dancing for almost 15 seconds, next to the Paris fans.

The Moroccan international was seen confronting the 19-year-old on the pitch after a lengthy goal celebration.

Hakimi explained why it was necessary to confront Endrick during the match.

"Why did I tell Endrick to calm down? These things happen in a match, we're not going to focus on the opposing players. I wanted my team to be focused and for him not to do things towards our fans," Hakimi said.

Hakimi added further, suggesting that Endrick should keep his focus on his own performances and not on provoking his opponent.

The former Real player praised Endrick's skills, but felt his celebration crossed a line of professional respect during the match.

"He just has to play football, especially since he's a talented player. But when he does things like that that aren't football, it can annoy me - especially since we were losing," Hakimi explained./Express newspaper/
