Hakimi Warns Messi Says There Are No Friends on the Pitch as PSG Face Inter Miami
PSG defender Achraf Hakimi has sent a friendly but firm message to Lionel Messi ahead of their clash at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16 on Sunday. Hakimi, who once shared the dressing room with Messi at PSG, will now face the Argentine legend as rivals when PSG take on Inter Miami this weekend.

We’ll give it our all to qualify for the next round.”

Now preparing to join the squad for the new season, the England forward is excited to play alongside Yamal, saying it’s every footballer’s dream to share the field with a talent like him. He didn’t hold back in his praise, describing Yamal as “the best.”
