• Hakimi scored a spectacular free-kick in the match

Kylian Mbappe recently lauded his teammate and friend, Achraf Hakimi after he scored a stunning free-kick for Paris Saint-Germain in the Classique Derby last weekend.

Hakimi played a major role in PSG's emphatic 4-0 win over their bitter rivals Olympique Marseille. The two footballers are close friends and have been seen before sharing wholesome moments and secret handshakes.

Mbappe was on the pitch for 32 minutes before he sustained an injury. PSG were leading 1-0 at that point, and even without the French superstar, Luis Enrique's side were rampant. New signing Goncalo Ramos came on and scored twice. Randal Kolo Muani also scored his first goal for PSG.

However, the moment of the match came in the 8th minute. Hakimi stepped up to take the free-kick after Mbappe was fouled. The Morrocan star unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner to give PSG the lead.

They did not look back. The defender received rave reviews after the match from fans on social media.

A few months ago, ESPN ranked Hakimi as the best right back in the world, beating the likes of Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier, Reece James, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
