Hakimi has just had an explosive 2024/25 season. |
“I chose Hakimi. He was excellent, consistent and decisive throughout the season. Achraf is currently the best defender in Europe,” Renard affirmed, recalling that he was the one who gave Hakimi the opportunity to debut for the Morocco team at the age of 18.
The 2025 Ballon d'Or has yet to have a clear candidate. At Barcelona, Lamine Yamal - an 18-year-old prodigy who grew up in La Masia - is considered a source of great pride when he is listed as the top candidate. Meanwhile, PSG is trying to boost the chances of Ousmane Dembele, who played a key role in helping the team win the prestigious treble (Champions League, Ligue 1, National Cup) and reach the Club World Cup final.
In addition to Dembele, many PSG stars also shined such as Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz and especially Hakimi - the player that Renard considers "number 1".
Sharing with 360 Sport , Renard did not hesitate to praise his former student: “Hakimi's development process is clear proof. From Dortmund, Inter Milan to PSG, he only played for top clubs. For me, Hakimi is this year's Golden Ball. At the age of 26, he still has many titles waiting ahead.”
Renard also highlighted the Moroccan defender's solid background: “Being trained at Real Madrid says it all about Hakimi's quality.”
While Dembele is still passionately expressing his love for Paris via social media, Renard believes that Hakimi - with his consistent form, explosive playing style and decisive role - is the factor worthy of being awarded the 2025 Ballon d'Or.
