Chelsea's forgotten star Hakim Ziyech hits the ground with his boots as he reacts furiously to the substitution.

Hakim Ziyech could not hide his anger at being eliminated from Morocco's World Cup qualifier against Zambia after throwing a huge tantrum.

He Chelsea The winger, who spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Galatasaray, lasted just over an hour in his team's 2-1 victory at the Stade Adrar.

Was Ziyech who opened the scoring after six minutes, converting a penalty to achieve his 23rd goal with the national team.

But his euphoria turned to despair during the second half, when he was replaced by Soufiane Rahimi, leaving him furious.

The former Ajax star could be seen raising his arm in the air when he saw his number was on the subboard.

And after trudging off the pitch, former Wolves defender Romain Saiss reached out to put his arm around him, and Ziyech immediately shrugged.

He then gestured toward coach Walid Regragui, who was waiting for him on the bench, and his heated reaction continued on the bench.

As he slumped in his seat, the 2021 Champions League winner proceeded to remove his boots, where he angrily threw them both to the ground.

Ziyech then threw his ankle tape to the ground, and fans on social media criticized his unnecessary antics.

One X user posted: “Unacceptable behavior regardless of who you are.”

Another commented: “He annoys me, who does he think he is? Leave if you're not happy.”

A third added: “Ziyech we love you, but you have to be careful, (if) you are unwell, you leave.”

Meanwhile, another simply said: “Ziyech is a manchild.”

It remains to be seen where Ziyech will play next season, as Galatasaray has a purchase option in his loan contract.

The striker helped the Turkish giants win the Super Lig title, having contributed six goals and three assists in 18 league games.
