“Finding the pleasure of the green rectangle”
After this "
oh so traumatic experience
", "
I was the victim of a surprising media cabal with the aim of tarnishing my image and my private life
", affirms Hamraoui, in reference to press articles linking the aggression to many alleged intimate relationships with married men.
The French international (39 caps) recalls having been "
unfairly insulted on the pitch, harassed on social networks and threatened with death
" and says she is only guilty, by her silence, "
of having allowed a media buzz to take hold of unheard of violence that destroyed us, my loved ones and me.

Hamraoui was suspected by some PSG players of having directed investigators towards Diallo, whom they considered innocent, which led to strong tensions in the team.
The club has decided to keep Hamraoui, under contract until June 2023, out of the professional group for the current season.
“
I aspire today to rediscover the pleasure of the green rectangle.
And keep winning.
Because if there is one thing that has not changed since this tragedy, it is my ambition for me and my country
