In a statement released today on X, Hakimi said, "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. I would like to thank all the Moroccan people for their support, especially all the people who came to Côte d'Ivoire. We will get up and come back stronger for the future! Insha’Allah Dima Maghrib! And good luck to the South African national team for the rest of the competition.”
