That was a beautiful shot by Achraf Hakimi! The best right back in the world, Mbappé reacted

Achraf Hakimi is slowly growing into one of the world’s best backs. He is incredibly fast, safe defensively and can help the team with goals. Like at the AFCON, when he scored beautifully for Morocco from a direct kick.

This is a very hot commodity in the transfer market. Hakimi is only 23 years old, but his footballing CV is incredible. Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, PSG. And perhaps the circle will come full circle, as Los Blancos would like to bring their youngster back.

Hakimi has already scored 3 goals and 3 assists this season from the right-back position. Last season at Inter he had 7 goals and 9 assists, and he had an even better record at Dortmund with 5 goals and 13 assists.

And he’s also shining at the African Championships. As Morocco’s biggest star, he is dragging his team to success, contributing a wonderful winning goal in the eighth-final win over Malawi.

Mhango opened the scoring for Malawi in the seventh minute before Sevilla striker Youssef En Nesyri equalised in the 45th minute. After that, the favourites were unable to make a breakthrough for a long time until Hakimi took a direct kick.

He stretched from long range in the 70th minute and sent Morocco beautifully into the lead.

The goal subsequently went viral on the internet and made its way to Paris, where Hakimi is based. His great friend Kylian Mbappé was clear.

“Achraf Hakimi. The best right-back in the world. Good night guys,” Mbappé wrote on Twitter.
