Achraf Hakimi Ignites the Champions League with Blazing Speed
Paris Saint-Germain's Achraf Hakimi has solidified his reputation as one of Europe's fastest players, dazzling spectators with an impressive top speed in the Champions League.
The exceptionally talented Atlas Lion reached an astounding speed of 35.4 kilometers per hour during this season's Champions League matches, securing a spot among the top 10 fastest players in this prestigious continental competition.
While Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi claimed the top spot with an outstanding 36.3 kph, Hakimi rightfully boasts about matching pace with renowned players such as Kylian Mbappe and Marcus Rashford. Hakimi, celebrated for his lightning-quick runs from his hybrid full-back/midfield position, has made this a trademark under PSG manager Luis Enrique.
For those acquainted with Hakimi's career, his inclusion among the fastest players comes as no surprise. His exceptional speed was evident during his tenures with Dortmund and Inter Milan, consistently leaving opposing defenses struggling to cope when given the space to attack.
As Hakimi readies himself to represent Morocco at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, his remarkable speed ensures his standing as one of the most formidable full-backs globally. National team coach Walid Regragui will rely on Hakimi's talents as the Atlas Lions aim to fulfill their potential on the international stage.
With the final Lions squad announcement scheduled for later this month, Hakimi's electrifying pace will undoubtedly be a formidable asset for Morocco as they pursue glory in the Ivory Coast this January.
