PSG: Al-Khelaïfi hails Achraf Hakimi as a global benchmark | OneFootball

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi praised the tremendous season of Achraf Hakimi (27 years old), right-back of Paris Saint-Germain. The Qatari president assures that the Moroccan, also captain of his country, is among the very best players in the world. A strong statement that highlights the stature taken by the former Madrid player.

There is always a moment when a player stops just being effective and starts to weigh on an entire project. Achraf Hakimi (27 years old) has crossed that threshold, and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi's statement confirms it publicly. The president of Paris Saint-Germain is not just talking about a fast or decisive full-back: he describes a leader, a structural pillar of the locker room, and a symbol for Morocco. The 2024-2025 season of the player was marked by rare consistency, both in offensive impact and defensive aggressiveness, becoming one of the most influential players in Luis Enrique's team. That his president places him among the best in the world is therefore not just an empty compliment: it is the crowning of a year where Hakimi has assumed a central role in Paris and beyond. His title of African Player of the Year finally honors a player too often underrated.
