After the new European championship, Hakimi tops the headlines of the global press.

The Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi continues to solidify his status as one of the most prominent stars in global football, having led Paris Saint-Germain to win the UEFA Champions League title for the second consecutive season, adding a new historic achievement to his illustrious career and confirming his presence as one of the most important players who have marked the golden era of Moroccan football.

This achievement did not go unnoticed within the Parisian club or in international sports circles, as the official Paris Saint-Germain page celebrated Hakimi as "the first Arab player in history to win the UEFA Champions League three times," a record unprecedented in Arab football.

The captain of the Moroccan national team also received special praise from French star Kylian Mbappé, who wrote on his social media accounts that "Achraf Hakimi is the best right-back in the world," a new testament to the status the Moroccan player has attained among the great stars of the game.

According to the "Africa Foot" website, the recent title raised Hakimi's tally to three UEFA Champions League titles, having first won it with Real Madrid during the 2017-2018 season, before achieving two consecutive titles with Paris Saint-Germain in the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons.

European sports media continued to celebrate the historic achievement of the Moroccan international, with the French website "Foot Mercato" stating that Achraf Hakimi is writing a new chapter in the history of African football, having established himself as one of the standout stars of Paris Saint-Germain and a key pillar in the project of Spanish coach Luis Enrique.

The site explained that the Moroccan full-back has joined a select group of African players who have left their mark in the UEFA Champions League, noting that his tally has reached 77 matches in the continental competition, making him the fourth most-capped African player in the history of the tournament, surpassing Ghanaian Michael Essien (76 matches), and behind Egyptian Mohamed Salah (98 matches), Ivorian Didier Drogba (92 matches), and Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o (78 matches).
