I’ve never faced anyone like him” — PSG defender says Rice’s power and precision defy belief.
Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco star Achraf Hakimi has shocked fans and pundits with his extraordinary praise for Declan Rice, hailing the Arsenal midfielder as unlike any opponent he’s ever faced.
Following their recent European clash, Hakimi admitted in a press conference:
> “The power, agility, and composure he displays on the ball are simply out of this world — I think FIFA should look into it because it feels superhuman.”
While many expected Hakimi to mention Arsenal’s flashy attackers like Martinelli or Skelly Alvero, it was Rice who earned his awe. Hakimi detailed how Rice’s command of the midfield, relentless pressing, and sharp passing made him “feel like three players at once.”
Since joining Arsenal, Declan Rice has been a transformational presence — and now, with global stars like Hakimi publicly singing his praises, Rice’s status as one of Europe’s most dominant midfielders is all but confirmed.
Social media erupted, with Arsenal fans sharing highlight reels and jokingly tagging EA Sports, urging them to update Rice’s stats to match his “real-life cheat code” performances.
With both domestic and European glory in sight, Rice’s form may well be the key to Arsenal’s ultimate triumph.
