Incredible form: Hugo Ekitike humiliates Bayern legend in France camp

France’s national team training camp is rarely short of drama, but Hugo Ekitike managed to steal the headlines this week with a moment of sheer brilliance that left both teammates and fans buzzing. In a routine drill that suddenly became anything but, the Liverpool striker squared up against Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain veteran Lucas Hernández.

What followed was pure artistry. With a quick body feint and dazzling footwork, Ekitike shifted his weight to the right, tricking Hernández into committing too early. In a flash, he accelerated in the opposite direction, leaving the seasoned defender sprawling helplessly on the turf. The move didn’t just stop there — Ekitike carried the ball forward with composure before slotting it home with the kind of clinical finish that has become his trademark.

The clip of the moment quickly went viral, with fans joking that Hernández had been “sent on vacation to Ibiza” by the Liverpool forward’s ruthless skill. Social media was flooded with reactions, memes, and even comparisons to some of the best one-on-one moves ever seen in French training sessions. For Hernández, it was an unfortunate few seconds he would probably rather erase.

For Ekitike, however, this was more than just a flashy highlight. It was a statement of intent. At a time when France’s squad is overflowing with attacking options, moments like these send a clear message to Didier Deschamps: he’s ready to compete at the highest level and deserves a chance to shine.

Deschamps has often spoken about the competitive nature of his squad, where training sessions feel like actual matches. Ekitike’s duel with Hernández perfectly illustrated this. The camp is no place for complacency — even established stars like Kylian Mbappé or Antoine Griezmann are constantly being pushed by rising talents eager to prove themselves.

Liverpool fans, watching from afar, couldn’t have asked for better evidence of their striker’s form. Since joining the Reds, Ekitike has faced the pressure of replacing outgoing stars and living up to the weight of Anfield’s expectations. Performances like this, even on the training ground, are reassuring signs that he has the flair and confidence to thrive in English football.

Yet, the path to a guaranteed starting spot at Liverpool is not straightforward. Ekitike is locked in a healthy but fierce battle for minutes with Alexander Isak, another forward who has been in fine form. Rather than shying away from the challenge, Ekitike has embraced it wholeheartedly. “It’s fun,” he said in camp, smiling when asked about the competition. “It makes us all better. Every session, every match, you have to give everything.”

That attitude has quickly endeared him not just to Liverpool supporters, but also to teammates who see in him the hunger of a young striker determined to reach the very top. His ability to glide past defenders, combined with an ice-cold finishing touch, makes him an asset no coach can ignore for long.

In many ways, the duel with Hernández was symbolic of the new generation staking their claim. Hernández, with years of Champions League and international experience, represents the established guard of European football. Ekitike, meanwhile, is part of the new wave — fearless, inventive, and hungry to write his own story.

If France is to maintain its dominance on the global stage, players like Ekitike will be crucial. His performance in training was just a glimpse, but it reflected the depth of Deschamps’ squad and the bright future ahead. With Euro 2026 looming on the horizon, every spark of brilliance in camp could become the decisive factor in squad selection.

For now, Ekitike has done what every young player dreams of: turning heads, creating headlines, and reminding everyone — teammates, coaches, and fans alike — that he’s not just a prospect. He’s a star in the making.
