The coach Walid Regragui sent a heartfelt message of support to Paris Saint-Germain star, Achraf Hakimi, following his sixth place finish in the 2025 Ballon d'Or race, emphasizing that true redemption will come from leading the Moroccan national team to victory in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

According to 365 Scores, Regragui told Hakimi: "You are the best for me and for Moroccans, and the future is ahead of you. What you lost today, you can compensate for tomorrow by lifting the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco."

The coach of the "Atlas Lions" confirmed that Hakimi's sixth place in the ranking of the best players in the world is considered an important achievement in his career, adding that the future looks brighter given his immense potential and what he is delivering on both international and European levels.

It is worth noting that the annual Ballon d'Or ceremony, organized by France Football magazine, saw Norwegian Erling Haaland awarded the prize, while Hakimi settled for an honorable position among the top ten players in the world.
