PSG defender Achraf Hakimi has been voted the top African player in the French league after helping his club win a record-extending 13th Ligue 1 title and reach the Champions League final. The 26-year-old Moroccan won the the Marc-Vivien Foe award ahead of Nice forward Evann Guessand, from Ivory Coast, and Senegalese midfielder Habib Diarra, who plays for Strasbourg. The prize is named after the late Foe, the popular Cameroon player and two-time African champion who collapsed and died on a field in France in 2003 while playing for his country. Hakimi, regarded as one of the best right-backs in the world, scored last week as PSG defeated Arsenal 2-1 in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal. He is the second defender to win the award after Congolese player Chancel Mbemba in 2023. He’s also the fourth Moroccan, following Marouane Chamakh in 2009, Younès Belhanda in 2012 and Sofiane Boufal in 2016. PSG is hoping for its first-ever treble this season.
Villarreal maintained their push for Champions League football next season with a late 1-0 win at Girona on Saturday in La Liga. The Yellow Submarine, fifth, with the top five qualifying, needed an 89th-minute header from Karl Etta Eyong to snatch victory at the Montilivi against a struggling Girona side. The Catalans were without coach Michel Sanchez as he is under observation in hospital as a "precaution", Girona said Friday, against an undisclosed ailment. Villarreal dominated the game but only found a breakthrough when Alfonso Pedraza's cross found Cameroon-born midfielder Eyong.

Andre Onana will return in goal for Manchester United's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Olympique Lyonnais despite his errors in the first leg but striker Joshua Zirkzee is out for the season, manager Ruben Amorim said on Wednesday.
LONDON: Andre Onana will start in goal for Manchester United in their season-defining Europa League match against Lyon on Thursday, manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed. The Cameroon international made two costly errors in last week’s 2-2 draw in France in the first leg of their quarter-final and was dropped for Sunday’s 4-1 defeat against Newcastle. Back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir played at St. James’ Park but Onana will be back in goal at Old Trafford. “Onana, he will play tomorrow,” Amorim said at his pre-match press conference. The Portuguese coach said: “As a coach and former player first of all I try to do things that can help a player in this situation. “We speak about managing players physically but we also have to manage them also mentally. “We had one weekend where I felt it was better for Andre Onana not to play and a good thing for Altay (Bayindir) to play.” The United boss also confirmed that forward Joshua Zirkzee will miss the rest of the season. The Netherlands international, 23, limped off in the second half of Sunday’s defeat at Newcastle after suffering a hamstring injury. “Joshua is out for the season,” he said.
