Following Morocco's elimination from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, French star Kylian Mbappé offered a brief reaction to the visible sadness of his close friend and teammate at Paris Saint-Germain, Achraf Hakimi. In a post-match interaction, Mbappé was quoted as saying, 'Ici il n'y a pas de sentiment' (Here there is no feeling), a remark that quickly circulated on social media.
The comment came after Morocco's semi-final loss to France on December 14, 2022, where Hakimi was seen in tears. Mbappé, who played for France in the match, was seen consoling his friend. The phrase 'ici il n'y a pas de sentiment' was reportedly said in a lighthearted or resigned tone, acknowledging the competitive nature of football.
As of July 10, 2026, no further verified statements from Mbappé or Hakimi have been made regarding this specific incident. The original source article is behind a paywall, and no additional details could be confirmed.
