Season Editorial
Season Analysis
Achraf Hakimi is the best attacking full-back in world football, and this season has made that case more convincingly than ever. Eleven assists from right-back leads Europe's top 5 leagues at his position by a significant margin, and his Champions League three-assist performance in a single match placed him in historically rare company for a defender. His defensive maturity has also improved, addressing the one persistent criticism of his game.
Key Achievements
- 11 assists from right-back — leads Europe's top 5 leagues for defenders
- 3 assists in a single Champions League match
- Scored in Le Classique from a free kick
Strengths According to GoldenRank
- Sprint speed that no other full-back in the Top 10's peer group can match
- Defensive actions per 90 have increased year-on-year, addressing his primary weakness
- Consistency across Ligue 1 and Champions League without a visible drop in output
Current Ranking Outlook
The best-performing defender in the GoldenRank by a significant margin. His ceiling in the ranking is limited more by the position's structural scoring constraints than by his output. Sustained form keeps him locked in the elite tier.
