At PSG, Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi are the best of friends. Tonight, one could end the other's World Cup dream. dermotmcorrigan on a bromance that will become a rivalry for one night only:
Mbappe is also comfortable speaking out about social issues. His foundation helps underprivileged children in Paris, while his production company is working on a project centring on the life of a Syrian refugee. He has also been vocal about the problem of racism in football, even publicly criticising the president of the French football federation for not taking the issue seriously enough. Hakimi has also spoken about experiencing racism while growing up in Madrid.
The club marked the Eid Mubarak holiday in May by producing and sharing a video in which Hakimi guides Mbappe through different foods from Arab countries. Hakimi takes it very seriously, showing his knowledge of the different cultures across the region. Mbappe looked more at ease in front of the cameras as he chomped on sweet pastries.
Another insight into their relationship came in September, when a video emerged in an Amazon Prime promotion showing Mbappe remonstrating with his friend for not passing him the ball during a game last season. When the full-back apologised, he replied: “It’s not enough to be sorry, just give me the ball.”
