Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi’s chemistry on and off the pitch has been widely documented in the French media. The PSG teammates have often been utilized by the French club for their content creation, with their latest video being another example of the amazing chemistry between the PSG teammates.
On the PSG’s YouTube channel, Mbappe and Hakimi sat down with the kids from Junior Club to play a game of Articulate. In the game, each player listens to music through headphones while the other player says a few simple words to guess while being distracted by loud music.
Kylian Mbappe went first and had to guess words like Luis Enrique, Maroc, Bondy, Mozzarella, and PSG teammate Manuel Ugarte. Achraf Hakimi went next and guessed words like Vestiaire, Presnel Kimpembe, and Parc des Princes. The game was pretty simple and ordinary, but what made the three minutes pure comedy was the back-and-forth between the PSG teammates.
Mbappe was shaken when the first word was Luis Enrique; the forward thought Hakimi was trolling him with the name of their manager. Similarly, Hakimi stumbled on his first word when Mbappe intentionally mumbled the words to troll Hakimi. No other two players can make such a basic game so entertaining.
The fans also enjoyed the video, as evident in the comments section. Fans demanded more videos in the future that involved these two teammates playing different games. PSG might have a golden duo on their hands on and off the field.
Achraf Hakimi on his special friendship with Kylian Mbappe
Hakimi joined PSG in 2021 from Inter Milan. The full-back quickly transitioned into the French club, and a big factor in that is Kylian Mbappe. The French superstar helped Hakimi in his initial days at the club, which was admired by the Moroccan full-back in a recent interview.
The Moroccan right back talked about his friendship with Mbappe and stated, “In football, we have a lot of teammates, we know and play with a lot of them, but in reality, there are few real friends left because one by one they leave the club. And it’s not easy, especially with his status as a global star. I’m forever grateful to him, because he helped me when I didn’t speak the language and I didn’t know anyone”.

Hakimi added that when you understand a teammate on and off the field, it’s even easier to play with him, given the caliber of the player. The full-back knows exactly where and when they want the ball when the teammates look at each other.
This might be the last season for the duo at PSG, as Kylian Mbappe is in the last season of his current contract. Various factors might encourage Mbappe to stay at the French club, and his friendship with Hakimi is one of the biggest factors that can help PSG’s cause.
