Paris Saint-Germain’s thrilling 3-1 aggregate victory over Arsenal secured their spot in the 2025 UEFA Champions League final, but the celebration was overshadowed by a brewing controversy. Achraf Hakimi, PSG’s star right-back, reportedly made sarcastic comments about his former teammate Kylian Mbappé, reigniting tensions after PSG’s success without the French superstar. Hakimi, who scored a crucial goal in the 2-1 second-leg win, hinted at PSG’s newfound balance post-Mbappé, a remark that stunned fans and pundits alike.
Mbappé, now at Real Madrid, faced a challenging season, with his team crashing out in the quarterfinals against Arsenal (5-1 aggregate). Struggling with an ankle injury and criticism over his adaptation, Mbappé’s response to Hakimi’s remarks was explosive, shaking the football world. His cryptic statement, shared widely on X, suggested betrayal and hinted at unresolved issues from their time at PSG, leaving fans speculating about a fractured friendship.
The fallout has dominated headlines, with French media dissecting the duo’s once-close bond. Hakimi’s comments, praised by some as a nod to PSG’s cohesive unit under Luis Enrique, were seen by others as a low blow. PSG, now eyeing a historic treble, face Inter Milan in the final, while Mbappé grapples with scrutiny at Real Madrid. As the drama unfolds, the football world awaits further developments in this high-profile rift.
