World Cup 2022: Morocco can win the World Cup title – Alessandro Del Piero

Alessandro Del Piero, a former forward for Italy, thinks Morocco has what it takes to win the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

The Atlas Lions defeated Portugal 1-0 at Al Thumama Stadium thanks to striker Youssef En-Nesyri, who sprang highest to beat goalkeeper Diogo Costa to the ball. This victory made the Atlas Lions the first African nation to advance to the round of eight.

Morocco will face holders France in the semifinals at Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday.

 

“Morocco wrote history. They have presented a wonderful tournament so far. They have a good coach and many distinguished player.

“By reaching this role, they are a team that is, of course, a candidate to win the World Cup title,” Del Piero said.

Morocco have kept four clean sheets in five matches, only denied 100 per cent record by an own goal conceded against Canada in the group stage.

A win over France will see Morocco become the first-ever African country to reach the final of the World Cup.
