Real Madrid Confidencial Friends face off in World Cup semifinals, one warns: 'Each of us defends...'
Before facing each other, Real Madrid and PSG, he has issued a warning despite their friendship
This Wednesday Real Madrid face PSG in the semifinals of the Club World Cup. It will be the first time both clubs meet after Mbappé's transfer to the Merengue side. Therefore, it will be a match that draws a lot of attention.
Indeed, Mbappé will reunite with teammates, and he has a very special relationship with some of them. This is the case with Achraf, who was his great friend inside PSG's locker room. The Moroccan full-back has spoken about the Frenchman ahead of the match that will pit them against each other.
Achraf appeared before the press and admitted, "At first, before the World Cup, I spoke with him. He told me he was feeling a bit unwell, but I think now he's 100% ready to play in the World Cup." He made these remarks right after knocking out Bayern Munich and qualifying for the semifinals.
He went on to say, "I didn't think I'd face Kylian or anything, but I always wish him the best. He's my friend, and meeting in the semifinal is great, but always defending each of us the team, which is the most important thing." So, they'll set their friendship aside for the duration of the match.
The last two Champions League winners face to face
Luis Enrique managed to lead PSG, after years of massive spending, to win the Champions League. In doing so, PSG succeeded Real Madrid, which had won it a year earlier at Wembley. Therefore, this Wednesday the last two champions face off in a very intense match.
Indeed, Mbappé's presence will also be hanging in the air, whether as a starter or coming off the bench. It should be remembered that Kylian is still demanding the money PSG owes him. Therefore, tensions between both teams will be present during this match.
Although on the field there will be several players who have a special relationship, not just Mbappé and Achraf. Dembélé and Tchouaméni also play for the same national team and have a good friendship. Therefore, it will be a match with many things in common, which will be set aside for 90 minutes.
