Hakimi – Mbappe: Friends To Become Foes As Morocco Set Out For France

The ‘bromance’ between Kylian Mbappe and Hakimi will halt for 90 minutes and over, if need be, when Morocco pit France on Wednesday at the Al Bayt stadium.

Full of compliments for each other, Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi, arguably the best craft’s men in their different positions – will look to take their different teams through to the final of this year’s World Cup.

With a blurry and uncertain picture at the group phase, Mbappe and Hakimi weren’t to know it was going to boil down to this.

‘Wing wizard’ Mbappe, even paid Hakimi a courtesy visit in the Atlas Lions’ camp, and they both took pictures that later sufficed on social networks.

Currently the tournament’s top scorer with 5 goals, Mbappe even posted a tweet, congratulating his friend for having converted the winning penalty against Spain in the round of 16.

Emotions will definitely be sky-high on Wednesday when these two PSG stars meet, as one will be a finalist, and the other, a beaten semi-finalists.

Aged 23, Mbappe and his France teammates are looking to reclaim the title, while Hakimi’s Morocco will love to continue the fairytale. One thing is certain; it will be a great contest between two very talented athletes. ‘See you soon’ was Hakimi’s message to Mbappe after France defeated England 2-1.
