Achraf Hakimi shocked fans on social media after refusing to celebrate when he scored his side's opener against Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
The PSG star found himself unmarked in the box after a cross from Desire Doue, and poked the ball into an empty net to hand the French champions a 1-0 lead within 12 minutes.
After bagging his ninth goal from right back this season, Hakimi declined to celebrate against Inter - whom he played with for one season in 2020-21.
The Moroccan's gesture left fans online confused, considering the magnitude of the game.
Many believed Hakimi was well within his right to cherish his moment, and derided his no celebration 'gimmick'.
One fan wrote on X: 'Bro it's the UCl final, drop this nonsense gimmick.'
Another commented: 'Is he going to respectfully go sit in the dressing room while his teammates lift the trophy?! No... Didn't think so... Wtf are we even doing here?'
A third wrote: 'It’s utter b****cks!'
'He played one season there,' noted another fan.
Eight minutes after Hakimi's opener, Doue made it 2-0 to PSG. Luis Enrique's side blitzed Inter in the first half, firing 13 shots at a helpless Yann Sommer in between the sticks.
PSG came into the game seeking to lift the Champions League title for the first time ever. Meanwhile, Inter bid to win their fourth in club history.
