Football fans have been divided by a viral video of Achraf Hakimi talking to his wife, after a World Cup game in Qatar.
Hakimi has been part of Morocco's fairy tale run to the semi-finals of football's premier competition, and his family has been with him every step of the way. His wife, Hiba Abouk has been present in the stadium for some games.
Goal reports that the incident happened after Morocco's game against Spain. The Atlas Lions had just beaten La Roja on post-match penalties to become only the fourth-ever African side to qualify for a World Cup quarter-final.

Hiba appeared to be discontented about something and as she made her point, she was pointing to the stands. A fan has opined that perhaps she was angry that her husband didn't run directly to her to celebrate, but decided to go to other people first.
"Hakimi's wife complaining about him going through the whole stadium before coming to her gon’ cost them the semifinal game."
Another thought that maybe she was complaining about the difficulty she endured to get seats when she got to the stadium.
