Vinicius Jr: Real Madrid Star Dons Achraf Hakimi’s Jersey As He Holidays in Morocco

• Vinicius Junior enjoyed some downtime in desert Agafay in Morocco
• The Real Madrid star put on the jersey of local hero Achraf Hakimi
• The Atlas Lions recently had a lacklustre campaign at AFCON 2023

Vinicius Junior beautifully wore Achraf Hakimi's Moroccan jersey while enjoying some time off in Marrakech.

The Real Madrid star crossed the strait of Gibraltar at the Mediterranean Sea to cross into Northern Africa just hours after featuring in a La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano.

The Brazilian lasted the entire game as the Los Blancos dropped points, drawing 1-1 against Inigo Perez's side. Joselu opened the scoring for the record European champions, but Raul de Tomas equalised from the spot in the 27th minute.

Vinicius uploaded pictures on his social media, posing with a quad bike in the expansive sand dunes of desert Agafay in Morocco's fourth-largest city. The winger wore black shorts, socks, and shoes complemented by Hakimi's international jersey.

Hakimi's Morocco at AFCON 2023

The Paris Saint-Germain fullback wears the number 2 for his club and country. He recently featured for the Atlas Lions at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where they had a disappointing tournament.

After reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2022, many expected Walid Regragui's side to go on and win a second continental title. They beat Tanzania, drew with DR Congo before seeing off Zambia to win Group F.

They were, however, surprised by South Africa in the round of 16, with the Bafana Bafana beating them 2-0 in normal time. Teboho Mokoena scored a ridiculous free-kick after Sofyan Amrabat had seen red.

Hakimi reposted the Vinicius Jr post on his Instagram stories. The two players could meet this season in the Champions League. Real Madrid hold a slender 1-0 advantage over RB Leipzig, while PSG beat Real Sociedad 2-0 in the first leg.

Vinicius Jr creates buzz at AFCON 2023 with Ronaldo's post

Vinicius' post comes a few weeks after he appeared to celebrate South Africa knocking out Morocco. Mokoena celebrated scoring the free-kick by doing Cristiano Ronaldo's famous sleep celebration.

Sports Brief reported that the 23-year-old uploaded a post saying 'We all love CR7' before quickly deleting it a few moments later. Hakimi had missed a penalty in the 85th minute of the game that could have drawn his side level.
