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.

Speaking to ItalPress, the Moroccan star admitted it would be great to see Messi again, but made it clear that friendship stays off the pitch once the game starts. “It’ll be nice to meet Messi again, we shared some great moments,” Hakimi said. “But when the match begins, there are no friends. “He’ll do everything to win, and so will we. We’ll give it our all to qualify for the next round.”
