In a dazzling football season that captivated fans worldwide, Achraf Hakimi was the silent architect behind many of PSG’s greatest moments. Tireless in defense and explosive in attack, the Moroccan right-back delivered assist after assist, each more decisive than the last. His golden pass to Ousmane Dembélé became the defining highlight, celebrated everywhere as the spark that secured glory.
Yet, when the Ballon d’Or was announced, it was Dembélé who lifted the trophy, not Hakimi. Many argue that the Frenchman reaped the harvest of Hakimi’s relentless work. Analysts point out that without Hakimi’s precision and vision, Dembélé’s goals would not have reached the same heights. Fans across the globe debate whether the award went to the wrong man. For them, the true hero was the one who labored, not the one who scored.
