FRIENDS ASIDE 

Kylian Mbappe gets chance to ‘destroy’ Achraf Hakimi, who vowed to kick Paris Saint-Germain teammate in funny exchange before France face Morocco in World Cup semi-final


Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi will put their friendship aside when France take on Morocco in the World Cup semi-finals on Wednesday.

The Paris Saint-Germain duo are aiming to help their respective countries to the final of the competition in Qatar, which takes place on Sunday.

Mbappe has netted five goals and contributed two assists at this World Cup, while Hakimi has been key in helping Morocco concede only 10 shots on target.

And both will try to honour a promise they made when they go head-to-head at Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday.

“After we play against Morocco, I have to destroy my friend,” Mbappe said in a video on a trip to Qatar in January with their club PSG.

In response, Hakimi joked: “I’m going to kick him.”

Mbappe, who will likely start on the left side, will go up against right-back Hakimi.

The latter joined PSG in 2021 from Inter Milan, having previously won the 2020/21 Serie A title under Antonio Conte.

The pair are understood to be close friends, play video games together, go on holiday, and even sit next to each other during plane journey’s with PSG.

Morocco coach has since praised 23-year-old defender Hakimi and believes his star has what it takes in stopping Mbappe.

“I have no doubt that Hakimi will be on top form to get the better of his friend,” Regragui told a news conference on Tuesday.

After securing his sides place against France, following his penalty against Spain in the last-16, Hakimi produced a penguin celebration.

Mbappe was quick to praise his teammate following Morocco’s victory, and even visited his hotel to praise him afterwards.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
