Achraf Hakimi shocked fans on social media after refusing to celebrate when he scored his side’s opener against Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
The PSG star found himself unmarked in the box after a cross from Desire Doue, and poked the ball into an empty net to hand the French champions a 1-0 lead within 12 minutes.
After bagging his ninth goal from right back this season, Hakimi declined to celebrate against Inter – whom he played with for one season in 2020-21.
The Moroccan’s gesture left fans online confused, considering the magnitude of the game.
Many believed Hakimi was well within his right to cherish his moment, and derided his no celebration ‘gimmick’.
