Competing against Mohamed Salah and Victor Osimhen, the Moroccan is rewarded for his exceptional season, notably with PSG: French champion, winner of the Coupe de France, and winner of the Champions League, during which he scored in the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final.

Having had the best season of his career, Hakimi now hopes to recover from his injury in time to compete in the CAN with the Atlas Lions.
