AFTER FRANCE DEFEATED MOROCCO, KYLIAN MBAPPE AND ACHRAF HAKIMI SHARED A HEARTWARMING MOMENT
Defending champions France ended Morocco's dream in the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday with a 2-0 victory. The performance of Kylian Mbappe throughout the match proved to be a key factor in France's victory, which puts them in the final on Sunday against Lionel Messi and Argentina. In the aftermath of their momentous victory, Mbappe was an absolute stud. His first move after the defeat was to console Morocco's right-back Achraf Hakimi. The French phenom understood how horrible his PSG teammate must have felt, so he did everything he could to help.
Upon the final whistle, both players exchanged shirts. After exchanging jerseys, Kylian Mbappe wore Hakimi's shirt. As Hakimi walked into the tunnel, he also put on Mbappe's No. 10 shirt. Despite failing to score, Mbappe was an absolute force throughout this game. In the 79th minute, his deflected shot resulted in Randal Kolo Muani scoring from a wide-open position. It is important to note that, until that point, Morocco was still in the game, creating half-chance after half-chance. However, Kolo Muani's late goal ended Morocco's World Cup dream.
