Hakimi’s Bold Claim: ‘If I Can Win the Ballon d’Or, I Deserve It’
Moroccan superstar Achraf Hakimi isn’t one to shy away from ambition. Speaking with confidence, the PSG full-back made it clear that if the opportunity ever arises for him to lift football’s most prestigious individual award, he believes he’s earned it.
“The Ballon d’Or? If I have the possibility of winning it, I think I deserve it,” Hakimi declared, showing the same fearlessness off the pitch that he displays when surging down the flank.
For a player who has already shone in LaLiga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and on the grand stage of the World Cup, the statement is less boastful and more a reflection of his relentless drive.
