It is kind to note Mbappe and Hakimi are great friends, and this was evident during the World Cup in Qatar when they met in the semis.

After disappointment in Qatar, the duo returned to club action and featured in PSG’s opening two games after the World Cup. Their latest outing was a shock 3-1 defeat to Lens, as reported on Daily Mail.

Touring New York

Having been given a much-needed break by boss Christopher Galtier, Mbappe and Hakimi decided to camouflage themselves to take a tour of the big city New York.

While at it, they took to Times Square, where they casually watched some entertainers amongst some seemingly oblivious fans.

The video, originally shared by one elderordonez1, has since gone viral online, with many fans wondering how fans did not recognize the two superstars.

Here are some reactions from fans:
