Morocco and Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi was mocked by Spanish players after the Atlas Lions lost to the Matador in the semi-finals of the Paris 2024 Olympic football tournament.
Hakimi performed a famous dance after Morocco eliminated Spain on penalties in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup, which he called the “penguin dance.” Spanish players were keen to retaliate against Hakimi after Morocco was eliminated from the Olympics with a score of 2-1. Valencia and Spain Olympic team striker Diego Lopez wrote on social media after Morocco’s elimination, “We are in the final,” adding a penguin emoji and a frozen face. Atletico Madrid and Spain player Samu Omorodion also joined in the mockery of Hakimi using the penguin emoji, but after this mockery, he received a torrent of attacks and racist insults on social media.
