In the morning, the African Football Confederation officially announced that Ashraf won the 2025 African Footballer of the Year Award. He received this award after defeating stars such as Salah and Osimhen, so it is of high value.

Of course, Ashraf definitely deserves his name. In 2025, he won the Champions League, Ligue 1, Coupe de France, French Super Cup and UEFA Super Cup. He almost won the Club World Cup in the final. The five-time crown was an outstanding achievement. In addition, as for the national team, Ashraf helped Morocco obtain a direct quota for the 2026 World Cup and advance to the World Cup again. Last time, they wrote a particularly unique miracle. This time, they also have the opportunity to prove themselves.

After the award was officially announced, Ashraf was also blessed by many friends and celebrities. This shows their recognition. Mbappe posted on social media and said: "Love you, brother! King of Africa. Well done, my brother... This The honor is well deserved."

Dembele said: "It is well deserved, my brother."

The two "leaders" before and after Paris have posted messages, which shows that Ashraf is very reliable. However, in comparison, he is actually the reliable leader of PSG. The main full-back has repeatedly penetrated forward during the game and relied on his speed and reading ability to help his teammates create opportunities. He is an indispensable main force of this team, and was also given the captaincy by the coach.

It should be said that Achraf is one of the few successful people who made his debut in Dortmund. After coming to Inter Milan, he showed his excellent strength and helped Inter Milan win the trophy in local competitions. Unfortunately, the Nerazzurri lacked capital support and were forced to sell him to Paris. After arriving in Paris, Achraf was not knocked down by the prosperity here and maintained an excellent fighting spirit. This is also the basis for Paris to continue to maintain its strength after the star leaves.

Ashraf is indeed worthy of these compliments. More importantly, he is only 27 years old but is already the "big brother" of Paris. With such diligence and a bunch of outstanding "little brothers" who recognize him, Paris will have many opportunities in the future. After they broke that window (Champions League), their confidence increased several times. Next, Ashraf will take Paris to realize new opportunities and reach higher peaks, which is almost inevitable.

In addition, the World Cup is also his dream. He and his teammates will work hard to give every opportunity to Morocco.
