On December 21, Morocco will kick off “its” CAN against the Comoros. For this opening match, Walid Regragui could be deprived of two of his executives: Achraf Hakimi and Nayef Aguerd. The Parisian suffers from a severe ankle sprain, while the Marseillais is affected by pubalgia.
On the other hand, the coach of the Atlas Lions will be able to rely on a player who has been shining since the start of the season. This is Ayoub El Kaabi. Scorer and decisive passer during Olympiakos’ defeat against Real Madrid (3-4), Wednesday evening in the Champions League, the 32-year-old striker has entered the history of Moroccan football.
Indeed, he became the best Moroccan scorer in history in European Cups with 25 goals, reports the X account
Football Stats. The striker from the Greek club thus dethrones Youssef En-Nesyri and his 24 goals.
El Kaabi is unheard of
Also scoring against FC Barcelona on October 21, Ayoub El Kaabi became the first Arab player to have scored against Barça and Real during the same Champions League campaign.
Beyond his 2 goals scored in the Champions League this season, the native of Casablanca displays impressive statistics on the national scene. Indeed, he has 9 goals and 2 assists in 11 appearances in the Greek Super League.
