Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi had the most wholesome shirt swap after France beat Morocco to reach a second consecutive World Cup final.

The holders won 2-0 at the Al Bayt Stadium courtesy of goals from Theo Hernandez and substitute Kolo Muani to set up a huge final with Argentina on Sunday.

Paris Saint-Germain teammates Mbappe and Hakimi lined up opposite one another in a key full-back vs winger battle that did not disappoint.

The speed demons went back and forth throughout the contest, with both getting joy. Ultimately Mbappe was the victor of the contest and it was his slaloming run and shot that led to Muani tapping home the second mere seconds after coming on.

Beforehand, the pair did their special handshake and hugged in the tunnel before going to battle on the turf. Afterwards, they embraced and swapped jerseys in some wonderful scenes.

That wasn't all though, both put on the shirts they had exchanged and turned them around so that the name and number was front and centre.

Mbappe had 'Hakimi 2' on his red jerseys, with Hakimi wearing an 'Mbappe 10' navy France strip as he walked down the tunnel.

However, as per journalist Carrie Brown, he did then remove it out of respect as he headed back to the dressing room.

The duo spent around ten minutes sat on the floor chatting with each other and catching up.

Although Mbappe once slated him at half-time in the tunnel last season, the two have a special relationship and a bromance that some could only dream of.

They have the same taste in music and video games and Mbappe, who has families ties to Algeria, has been helping Hakimi learn French ever since he joined PSG.

Mbappe, who was clattered into by Sofyan Amrabat, will look to fire France to back-to-back World Cup wins on Sunday, while Hakimi and a spirited Morocco side take on Croatia in the third place play-off a day prior.
