Watch: Wholesome moment as Morocco’s Hakimi celebrates World Cup win with his mum
International
Morocco’s national team certainly put on quite the spectacle last weekend after the Atlas lions conquered Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal but what truly stole the show was its players’ celebrations.
After scoring the deciding penalty that shook the world and made Morocco the first nation to reach the World Cup semi-finals, PSG right-back Achraf Hakimi dashed to his mother to celebrate the historic moment.
The now-viral video shows the Moroccan footballer jump past the barriers and towards his mother for a kiss and embrace which had definitely had spectators around the world in tears.
