Mbappe is deployed on the left wing by Deschamps, so he is on a direct collision course with Hakimi, Morocco’s right back. That is shaping up to be a battle royale. The two buddies will have to set their friendship aside for 90 mins, or as long as it takes for a winner to emerge.
SEE YOU SOON FOR REAL.
