She had not had the chance to play a single match since April 16 against Issy (6-1). Six months later, Kheira Hamraoui experienced a highlight on Wednesday evening, coming into play in the 76th minute of the Real Madrid-PSG Champions League clash (0-0) in Spain. The 32-year-old Parisian midfielder, who especially highlighted herself with a hardly dangerous counter strike (88th), knows that she has come a long way.
Assaulted on November 4, 2021 by several men armed with iron bars on returning from an evening with her team, Kheira Hamraoui then went through a media and legal whirlwind, while her ex-teammate Aminata Diallo is indicted and suspected of having sponsored this attack, against a backdrop of sporting rivalry.
Although a victim, the international tricolor was therefore sidelined from the Parisian group last April. PSG tried to part with her throughout the summer and even gave Dutch rookie Jackie Groenen her number 14. This shows how much this first appearance of the season, with his number 14 in the back, Wednesday in Madrid, means a lot to Kheira Hamraoui.
