Even if they lose today, Morocco will be remembered as the first African country to reach the World Cup semifinals. Morocco has already defeated two of Europe's best teams, winning 1-0 against Portugal in the quarterfinals and 3-2 on penalties against Spain in the round of 16.
Nonetheless, Mbappe has now broken the record for most goals scored in a FIFA World Cup. In the competition, the French forward has taken 22 shots and scored five goals with two assists. He started five games for France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In addition to his 15 successful dribbles, he made nine key passes and nine interceptions. Mbappe has been fouled seven times, making him one of the most fouled players.
Hakimi has 17 tackles for Morocco in five games at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Despite the fact that he has yet to make a tackle in the game, he is already regarded as one of the league's best fullbacks. PSG's defender completed seven passes, was fouled four times, and intercepted four passes.

Ronaldo training at Real Madrid after Manchester United exit
Cristiano Ronaldo has been using Real Madrid's training facility to stay in shape following Portugal's World Cup exit.
Ronaldo is free to join another club on January 1 after his contract with Manchester United was terminated last month.
Al-Nassr, a Saudi Arabian club, has made a substantial offer for the 37-year-old forward, though it is understood he has other options.
Ronaldo trained alone at Real's Valdebebas base, and a return to the Spanish club is out of the question.
Ronaldo's second stint at Manchester United was cut short following a contentious interview in which the five-time Ballon d'Or winner criticized the club and stated that he had "no respect" for manager Erik ten Hag.That happened two days before Portugal's World Cup campaign began, and Ronaldo started their first three games before being substituted in the final group game against South Korea.
The Portuguese Football Federation denied that Ronaldo threatened to leave the squad after being told he would not start the last-16 match against Switzerland, and his replacement, Goncalo Ramos, scored a hat-trick in a 6-1 victory.
The World Cup in Qatar was expected to be Ronaldo's final chance to win a World Cup, and he came off the bench against Switzerland and Morocco but was unable to prevent the African side from knocking Portugal out.That 1-0 upset in the quarter-finals could be Ronaldo's last World Cup game and he said on social media: "The dream was nice while it lasted".
Ronaldo has made it clear that he is ready to join a new club at the earliest opportunity by asking Real Madrid to use their training facility rather than taking a break following Portugal's early exit.
That will not be the case for Real, whose all-time leading scorer is Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 450 goals in 438 games while winning the Champions League four times and La Liga twice.
Ronaldo joined Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009, setting a world record at the time, and left for Juventus in 2018.
