Achraf Hakimi Mouh was born in Madrid, Spain in 1998 to Moroccan immigrant parents. Real Madrid's academy developed him before loan spells at Dortmund and then Inter Milan. Inter paid £40 million to make him permanent before PSG paid £60 million in 2021. His combination of explosive pace — making him among the fastest players in world football — with technical quality in the final third has redefined how a right-back can function in attacking systems. He reached the 2022 World Cup semi-final with Morocco — the first African nation to reach that stage — in one of the tournament's defining collective achievements. His performances for Morocco were central to the country's historic run. He has been nominated for the Ballon d'Or. He scored the winning penalty to eliminate Spain from the 2022 World Cup — a panenka — his most celebrated individual moment. He is the most valuable full-back in world football.
