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.
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.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
