The day after the elimination of Morocco and his missed penalty, Achraf Hakimi broke the silence on social networks.
Achraf Hakimi left Côte d’Ivoire with a disappointed face. Semi-finalist of the 2022 World Cup, Morocco was eliminated at the stage of the round of 16 of the CAN after its 2-0 defeat against South Africa on Tuesday evening.

While they were trailing 1-0 by Bafana Bafana, the Atlas Lions obtained a penalty at the very end of the match (85th), hit on the bar by the former Madrilenian.
The day after this enormous disillusionment for Moroccans, Achraf Hakimi spoke on social networks. “Today is a very difficult and sad day for our elimination. I would like to apologize for the penalty, I took responsibility to help the team, but unfortunately it didn’t work.”wrote the PSG player on his social networks.
“We will get up and come back stronger”
“I would like to thank all the Moroccan people for their support, especially all the people who came to Ivory Coast. We will get up and come back stronger for the future! Insha’Allah »added Hakimi, and concluded with a high-class message to South Africans: “And good luck to the South African national team for the rest of the competition. »
