Adil Aouchiche (born 15 July 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain.
Club career
An academy graduate of Paris Saint-Germain, Aouchiche made his professional debut on 30 August 2019 in a 2–0 league win against Metz. He started the match and played 65 minutes before getting replaced by Leandro Paredes. He scored his first goal on 5 January 2020 in a 6–0 cup win against Linas-Montlhéry. This made him the second youngest player ever to score a goal for PSG in official competitions, only behind Bartholomew Ogbeche.
International career
Born in France, Aouchiche is of Algerian descent. Aouchiche is a current French youth international. He became the focus of attention in 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship due to his goalscoring prowess. Despite being a midfielder, he scored 9 goals from 5 matches in the tournament as France reached semi-finals. He scored a hat-trick against Sweden in a group stage match and netted another four goals in quarter-final clash against Czech Republic.
He went on to break several records during the tournament including that of scoring most goals in a single U17 Euro campaign, which was previously held by his compatriots Odsonne Édouard and Amine Gouiri for scoring 8 goals in 2015 and 2017 respectively. He also became the all-time top scorer in the history of UEFA European Under-17 Championship, a feat which was previously shared by Édouard, Gouiri and Abel Ruiz. His tally of 9 goals also equalled the record for most goals in any UEFA football national-team finals tournament, which he currently shares with Michel Platini, Elena Danilova and Shekiera Martinez. His stellar performances earned him a spot in team of the tournament.
