Madrid was one of the cities where great festivities were seen.

They had reasons to celebrate in every possible corner.

The victory this Tuesday of the Moroccan team over that of Spain by penalties in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 precipitated massive celebrations in cities of Europe and Arab countries.

Spain, world champion in South Africa in 2010, could not beat its neighbor to the south, which has been one of the great surprises of this tournament.

It is the first time in history that Morocco has reached the quarterfinals. Until now, the most he had advanced was to the eighths in Mexico 1970.
