Historic achievement for Hakimi: PSG defender becomes Morocco's top Champions League scorer

Achraf Hakimi etched his name into the history books during the Champions League playoff clash against Monaco.

Details: By netting the second goal against the Monégasques, Paris Saint-Germain's right-back Achraf Hakimi brought his tally in Europe's premier club competition to ten goals. This strike propelled him to the top of the list of Morocco's all-time leading scorers in Champions League history.

Thanks to this achievement, Hakimi has now drawn level with two other Moroccan national team stars—forward Youssef En-Nesyri and midfielder Hakim Ziyech. The trio now jointly share the title of the country's top scorers in the history of the tournament.

What makes Achraf's accomplishment truly remarkable is that he achieved this feat as a defender, unlike En-Nesyri and Ziyech.

Hakimi's goal proved crucial for the Parisians, as it enabled them to level the score in a tense match, with both teams heading into halftime locked at 2-2.
