Hakimi Goes Global: PSG’s 2026 Crown Sparks a Cross-Continental Celebration

Overview of Hakimi’s cross-continental celebration

Morocco's star Achraf Hakimi, PSG's dynamic right-back, joined in cross-continental celebrations as his club secured their first trophy of the 2026 campaign, a milestone that had fans buzzing from Paris to his homeland.

Spanish Super Cup drama and Hakimi’s absence in Kuwait

Paris Saint-Germain scraped the Spanish Super Cup in dramatic fashion, beating their arch-rivals Marseille 4-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the closing minutes, thanks to a late blast from the Portuguese substitute Gonzalo Ramos.

Hakimi missed the French Clasico staged at the Jaber Al-Ahmad Stadium in Kuwait, because he remains with his national team preparing to face Cameroon tomorrow in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals in Morocco.

The Moroccan star later posted a celebratory Instagram image with his teammates posing alongside the trophy, dubbing them 'the champions' in a caption that traveled fast across social feeds.

Before heading to Morocco for AFCON duty, Hakimi had been sidelined since November 4 after suffering a serious ankle injury against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

In Africa, Hakimi was absent for Morocco's opening two group games against Comoros and Mali, yet he featured in the win over Zambia in the final group fixture and helped propel the Atlas Lions past Tanzania in the last-16, as they march toward the knockout rounds.

Two light-hearted notes to cap it off: Punchline 1: If cross-country trophy tours had a frequent-flyer program, Hakimi would have gold status by now, with a layover in awesomeness. Punchline 2: And the ankle? Don’t worry—it's just collecting passport stamps until the next comeback tour.
