"You are the Best Player" - France President Enters Dressing Room to Hug Moroccan Star

By Olamide Oyetunji - The Atlas Lions of Morocco had their historic 2022 FIFA World Cup dream cut short after a defeat to the World champions.

France won 2-0 over Morocco in Wednesday's semi-final after an early goal by Theo Hernandez and a late one from Randal Kolo Muani ended battling Morocco’s dream of a spot in Sunday's final.

Les Bleus will now take on Argentina in the final after Lionel Messi powered them to a resounding win over Croatia.

It wasn't the stylish, thrilling march to the final that saw France's rivals Argentina vanquish Croatia 3-0 on Tuesday. But it was a clinical, decisive win. France are headed into their second FIFA World Cup final in a row after they won it in 2018.

Meanwhile, France president Emmanuel Macron visited Morocco’s dressing room after the game and told Sofyan Amrabat that he has been “the best midfielfer of the tournament” in front of all the squad.

Sofyan Amrabat has been a warrior for the Moroccan team and has been identified as a top target for clubs.
