The Moroccans are happy and it is not for less: for the first time an African team reaches the semifinals of a World Cup.
In a historic match, Morocco beat Portugal 1-0 this Saturday, achieving an unprecedented sporting achievement for the African continent and, incidentally, leaving out Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, one of the favourites.
“Awww”
In the midst of the festivities in the stadium, a moving scene caught everyone’s attention. The player Sofiane Boufal went to look for his mother to celebrate and dance on the court. She will be framed perhaps as the most beautiful image of this world.
A couple of minutes later, the Moroccan told the media that this is “a dream that should not end” and that his achievement is deserved. “We have faced the best nations in the world and we have beaten them. It’s not by chance,” said the player.
I hope this dream doesn’t end now. This is all crazy, we are living a dream and we don’t want to wake up. I have no words to describe what is happening to us, it is incredible”, said the emotional Boufal, in statements collected by Sports world.
