Bayern Munich was eliminated on Saturday evening in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, losing 2-0 against Paris Saint-Germain. The goals of Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé sealed the fate of the Bavarians, who also lost injury their playmaker Jamal Musiala, hit after contact with Gianluigi Donnarumma. A blow for the men of Vincent Kompany, a few weeks before the resumption of the Bundesliga.

Among the young people present in the group, Adam Aznou did not play, but stood out after the meeting. The 19 -year -old left -back exchanged his jersey with Achraf Hakimi, his teammate in Moroccan selection. A moment of complicity between two Atlas lions, immortalized on social networks.

On X, Aznou shared a photo alongside the Parisian side, accompanied by the hashtag “#hakimiballondor”. A way to praise the former Real Madrid player, author of an impressive 2024-2025 season with 52 games and 11 goals in all competitions.

A gesture deemed moved

But this initiative was not to everyone's taste in Bavaria. While the defeat against Paris and the injury of Musiala left a bitter taste for supporters, some did not appreciate this symbolic gesture towards an adversary. On social networks, several fans of Bayern have criticized the timing and the message sent, believing that it lacked restraint in such a context.

Trained at the Masia then transferred to Bayern in 2022, Adam Aznou evolves regularly with the reserve team and was called for the first time with the Moroccan selection U23 last year. Present in the professional group for this club World Cup, he has not yet had the opportunity to make his official debut with the first team.
