There are no doubts that Morocco are the revelation of this World Cup. They had a difficult group where Canada, Croatia and Belgium were and, although contrary to what many expected, they managed to advance as leaders, obtaining two victories against Belgium and Canada and drawing with Croatia.

In the round of 16 they faced Spain, where against all odds they managed to hold the tie and on penalties they eliminated the tough Spaniards. In the quarterfinals it was not even necessary to go to extra time. En-Nesyri’s goal and solid defense proved too much for Portugal who ended up losing 1-0.
