Achraf Hakimi shines in stellar season
Achraf Hakimi’s triumph was no surprise, given his influential role in PSG’s successful campaign. Despite being edged out by Mohamed Salah in the Ballon d’Or France Football rankings, Hakimi’s prowess on the field was undeniable. His contributions to PSG’s Champions League victory, their French league championship, and their triumph in the Coupe de France, coupled with his impressive statistics, have catapulted him to the forefront of African football excellence.
Following in illustrious footsteps
As Hakimi received his award, his thoughts may have turned to Mustapha Hadji, the last Moroccan to achieve this honor. Hakimi becomes only the second Moroccan to be celebrated in this manner, following in the footsteps of Hadji, who was recognized for his exceptional play with La Corogne in 1998. Hakimi’s win marks a proud moment for Morocco, highlighting the country’s growing influence in the world of football.
