Achraf Hakimi is on the verge of a historic achievement in the Champions League.
The official website of UEFA has highlighted the significant opportunity that Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi, a player for Paris Saint-Germain, has to etch his name in history. If his team clinches the Champions League title, Hakimi would become the first Moroccan player to compete in and win the final on the pitch.
The Parisian club is preparing for a strong matchup against Inter Milan this Saturday evening at the Allianz Arena, starting at 8 PM (GMT+1).
UEFA pointed out that seven countries are poised to see one of their players crowned champion for the first time in history: Morocco through Hakimi, Turkey thanks to Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Iran with Mehdi Taremi, Armenia featuring Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Ecuador with Willian Pacho, South Korea through Lee Kang-in, and Albania via Cristian Asllani.
Although Hakimi previously won the Champions League title with Real Madrid in 2018, he did not participate in the final against Liverpool, which ended in a 3-1 victory for Los Blancos. This potential triumph with Paris Saint-Germain presents a unique opportunity for him to write his name in gold letters in Moroccan football history.
