Paris Saint-Germain full-back Achraf Hakimi has found himself at the center of fresh criticism after a video resurfaced showing him making a “penguin” gesture, a clip that has spread quickly on social media in recent hours.

The clip shows Hakimi pointing with his hands in a way many viewers described as mocking, with the gesture being linked by fans to a previous moment that was widely shared during his time with PSG.

What has now been revealed is that the video has returned to haunt the Morocco international, with reactions turning against him as supporters argued the gesture was inappropriate and that the “joke” has backfired harshly.

Online debate intensified as the footage circulated again, with users reposting it alongside comments criticizing Hakimi’s behavior and calling for more respect on and off the pitch.

The incident has become one of the most talked-about clips involving Hakimi this week, with the “penguin gesture” continuing to follow him as the backlash grows across platforms.
