Achraf Hakimi #2

Profile

Last year’s African footballer of the year, Hakimi is considered the best right-back in the game and perhaps the first Moroccan superstar. But off the pitch the 27-year-old confirmed in February that he would face trial after being accused of rape in 2023 He denies the allegations. "Today, a rape accusation is enough to justify a trial," Hakimi said on social media. "This is as unjust to the innocent as it is to the genuine victims. I calmly await this trial, which will allow the truth to come out publicly." One of the key players of PSG’s first Champions League title in 2025, Hakimi still has a close friendship with Kylian Mbappé, his former teammate now at Real Madrid. “He was the one who helped me with my French when I first got to Paris,” he said.
