"It was tough": Gouiri candid after Algeria's CAN 2025 elimination

Two days after Algeria's elimination in the quarter-finals of CAN 2025, Amine Gouiri spoke out with composure and candor. In a press conference with Olympique de Marseille, the striker did not shy away from the disappointment following the defeat against Nigeria (0-2). "It was tough," he admitted, before pointing out that Algeria came up against "a very strong Nigerian team."

Sidelined from the tournament due to a shoulder injury, Gouiri followed his team's journey from afar. He focused primarily on the collective lessons learned:

praising the group's progress and the squad's overall quality.

A message of hope, delivered without pretense, to fuel future ambitions.
