Van Persie slams Anis Hadj Moussa!

It was a turbulent evening for Anis Hadj Moussa with Feyenoord Rotterdam. Facing Panathinaikos on matchday three of the Europa League group stage, the Dutch side clinched a 3-1 victory thanks to a dazzling display from the Algerian winger. Trailing as early as the 18th minute, Robin van Persie’s men leveled before halftime through Givairo Read. Then, Hadj Moussa showcased his flair: in the 55th minute, he left Greek full-back Giorgos Kyriakopoulos for dead with two clever feints before rifling an unstoppable shot into the top corner. It was a wonder goal that sent De Kuip stadium into a frenzy.

Van Persie critical, yet full of admiration

Despite this technical masterclass, Robin van Persie didn’t shy away from delivering a sharp assessment of his player’s performance.

The former Manchester United striker was quick to highlight the Fennec’s potential, though: "He always has that ability to create magical moments out of nothing. Overall, he’s making huge progress."Criticized but decisive, Hadj Moussa once again proved he can turn a match on its head single-handedly—even if it means giving his coach a headache.
