About this listen

In the sixth episode of Legends of the World Cup, we tell the story of Achraf Hakimi: born in Madrid, son of Moroccan immigrants, trained at Real Madrid and turned into one of the best fullbacks in the world. A player who grew up between two cultures and chose to represent the one he carried in his heart. An episode about identity, pride and the night a boy from Madrid scored a Panenka against Spain to send Morocco to the World Cup quarterfinals.
