Achraf Hakimi has revealed that his close friend and former Paris Saint-Germain teammate, Kylian Mbappe, has a deep affection for Morocco.
Mbappe visited the Moroccan capital to support Hakimi during the Atlas Lions’ Group A clash with Mali on Friday at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Speaking about Mbappe’s trip, Hakimi said, “Kylian Mbappe really loves Morocco. He’s enjoying our country. He’s enjoying Moroccan food, from what I understand.”
The 27-year-old also shared Mbappe’s thoughts on AFCON. While confident in Morocco’s abilities, the French forward remained positive about their chances in the tournament.
Hakimi added, “He said we’re a candidate to win this AFCON, but there are also a lot of others.”
