This is undoubtedly the affair that has marked French football the most this season.
And it's still not resolved.
It was when the players of the France team gathered at the center of Clairefontaine to prepare for the Euro (July 6-31) that Kheira Hamraoui, not retained by Corinne Deacon, decided to speak on Tuesday, to the first time since his attack, in the Team.
On the evening of November 4, 2021, the PSG international midfielder, who was in a car with her teammate Aminata Diallo, was then violently attacked by two hooded men with iron bars.
"I experienced an attack of incredible violence," she says.
Two hooded strangers took me out of the car I was in to beat me in the legs with iron bars.
That night, I really thought I was going to stay there… I was screaming in pain.
I tried to protect myself as much as possible.
This scene, for me, lasted five minutes.
It was unbearable.
I keep a very painful memory, very heavy.
Hamraoui continues his chilling story.
“I experienced a real ambush.
These individuals were waiting for me behind a truck.
They were in the right place at the right time.
How could they be so well informed?
These are so many unanswered questions even today.

“The truth will eventually come out”
The 32-year-old emptied her bag insisting on her wish that "the truth should come out".
“A lot of questions torment me: why me?
Why so much violence against me?
I need the truth to come out to calm me down.
“Questioned about having directed the investigators to her teammate Aminata Diallo, the former Lyonnaise indicated that she is not “taking the floor today to talk about the judicial investigation.
“One thing is certain, I was the victim of a terrible attack.
I will not participate in this media court, it does not make sense to me.
Thousands of people, journalists, bloggers, youtubers have spoken about my attack without knowing anything.
Many false things were said, she insists.
I have complete confidence in justice.
I have been heard several times.
The investigation evolves.
I need this to materialize in order to move forward in my personal reconstruction.
I am calm and patient.
The truth will eventually come out.

She also trivializes her altercation in training with Sandy Baltimore, on April 23 just before the semi-final of the Champions League.
“At the end of training, on a set piece, we did not agree on the action, notes Hamraoui.
I told her to talk to me because she was behind me.
There were just words.
But as it happens, every day, in all clubs, girls or boys!
We talked about a raised hand from me on my partner, it never existed.

Finally, the Parisian player under contract until June 2023 who is "at the disposal of the club for next season like all players under contract" was asked about her relationship with former international defender Éric Abidal when he was sporting director of FC Barcelona and she player of the Spanish club.
“The subject of Éric Abidal is not one and has nothing to do with the attack of which I was the victim”, she evacuated.
