“Coolest dude in world football”- Piers Morgan, Kylian Mbappe, and others react to Achraf Hakimi’s panenka which knocks Spain out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup

Moroccan players celebrate after winning the match.

It’s another shocker at the 2022 FIFA World Cup as one of the favorites, Spain bowed out of the tournament against a much more depleted side on paper, Morocco. The African side came into the knockout stages having topped their group by beating the likes of Belgium and Denmark but nobody expected them to get past Luis Enrique’s side in this round of 16 encounters.

Morocco had significantly less possession and didn’t trouble the Spanish goalkeeper, Unai Simon at all during the regulation period. The Spanish attackers failed to find gaps between the Moroccan defenders and couldn’t create enough chances to score a goal and the match was very tightly poised with neither team opening their account with the fate of the game set to be decided on penalties.

Morocco’s hero of the match was their goalkeeper Yassine Bounnou who saved three back-to-back penalties to take his side into the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup for the first time in their history. It was a great moment both for the players and the fans and Morocco will play Portugal on Saturday with a semi-final place up for grasp.

Fans have become absolutely mad after Morocco’s performance in the round of 16 encounter against Spain and some are also trashing and trolling Enrique for his squad selection ahead of the World Cup. He decided to drop Sergio Ramos from the squad and Hakimi scored a paneka penalty and celebrated with a celebration giving tribute to his PSG teammate.

Fans have referred to that celebration saying that they all knew that was going to come at one point or the other and some fans also brought out the fact that Hakimi was born in Spain right in the city of Madrid but chose to play for his family roots, Morocco and knocked Spain out today.
