Kylian Mbappé's Friendship With Achraf Hakimi That Got People Talking

After Morocco lost to France in the semi-finals of the Qatar World Cup in 2022, Mbappé showed more than team spirit to his friend, Achraf.

Mbappé shared a photo on his Twitter timeline, with a caption:

Don’t be sad bro, everybody is proud of what you did, you made history.

Achraf was sad because his country, Morocco, had lost and was out of the competition for the World Cup.

The friends exchanged jerseys after a series of hugs and mutual comfort.

Several videos of their bromance circulated, and many admired their friendship. However, certain people tried to push a romance narrative.

"Hakimi is married with two children." a tweep frowned- but the picture Mbappé shared looked... 👀💀

I didn't say anything.😒

Do you know that they even have special greetings with hands that close homies have? Wow!

I want to let you know that even if I whoop your ass, I'm still your friend.😂
