Morocco U20: Real Madrid targets a world champion

Impressed by Morocco’s performance at the U20 World Cup, Real Madrid already has its eyes on a rising star.Morocco sits atop the world after their prestigious victory in the U20 World Cup final against Argentina. The squad, led heroically by Mohamed Ouahbi, made a name for themselves on the international stage, with several players truly standing out. Four of the Lion Cubs shone at the tournament: Yassine Khalifi, Yassine Gessime, Yassir Zabiri, and Othmane Maamma. The latter, trained at Montpellier and now with Watford since this summer, has not only captured the public’s imagination but also attracted interest from major clubs.
