In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Cherki chill” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2564 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Cherki chill” meme mean?

The picture of Cherki stretched out on the ground says it all without a word: open sulking, and the theatrical detachment of someone unhappy with their lot. The meme blends annoyance, self-mockery and a touch of nonchalance. People send it about a friend left on the bench, a colleague pouting in a meeting, or to describe the mood of whoever is left out while others have fun. The word “chill” adds a second layer: the displayed calm barely hides the grudge, and that gap is the joke.

Where does the “Cherki chill” meme come from?

Rayan Cherki was born on 17 August 2003 in Lyon. Raised at Olympique Lyonnais, he moved to Manchester City in June 2025, with the transfer announced on 10 June, and earned his first cap for France on 5 June 2025 in a Nations League semi-final against Spain, coming on in the 63rd minute to score and assist. He was in the 26-player squad Didier Deschamps announced on 14 May 2026 for the 2026 World Cup in the United States. In the June and July matches he often came on during play. The meme shows him lying on the ground, annoyed at not playing, and it spread as an image and a caption among French-speaking football fans.

Your first pack is free and needs no account. After that a new free pack lands every 10 minutes, up to 3 waiting for you. You can also buy the card with MemeCoins on the market, bid for it at auction, or trade it — and a double recycles into 10 MemeCoins.

The reprint of the “Cherki chill” card

The “Cherki chill” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 5,179). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was rare. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.

Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.

MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
