Moroccan Journalist Apologizes for Abusive Posts After Díaz Red Card as PSG Says Hakimi Out for Weeks

The Paris-based Moroccan reporter apologizes, calling his angry posts slang shaped by concern for Morocco before the Africa Cup.

Overview

  • Following Bayern’s 2–1 win at PSG, Luis Díaz was sent off for a late first‑half tackle that injured Achraf Hakimi.
  • PSG announced Hakimi sustained a severe ankle sprain and will be sidelined for several weeks.
  • Said Amdaa had labeled Díaz a “criminal” and said he would “put him under pressure” on X from an account with about 10,000 followers, with his posts drawing hundreds of thousands of views.
  • Amdaa now apologizes and says the phrasing was slang and ironic tied to concerns over Hakimi’s importance to Morocco ahead of the Africa Cup, while reporting he received insults and threats from fans.
  • Bayern’s Joshua Kimmich said the red card was defensible in hindsight, and Díaz posted wishes on Instagram for Hakimi’s quick recovery.
