This defeat clearly broke the hearts of the Moroccan players, they were only 90 minutes away from a World Cup final!
But this result changes nothing: Morocco has made history. And, quite frankly, how they responded to their injury crisis and conceded an early goal will be a separate chapter in the legend of the Atlas Lions and the miracle they created in Qatar.
None of the African countries has ever made it past the quarterfinals. And now, Morocco has pushed the boundaries, showing the oft-underrated footballing nations that with talent coupled with organisation, fighting spirit and support from not just one country but millions of neutral fans around the world, they too can follow in the footsteps of the Atlas Lion.
Reragugui said before this game that his team is history underdog true, the Rocky Balboa of football, and that the whole world has fallen in love with the values that his team represents. And he wasn’t entirely wrong. DIMA MAGHRIB!
