The semifinals are coming and one of the participating teams has an "advantage" over the rest, as an unusual reason makes them the future champion of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. What is it about and what coincidence arises in this context? Here we tell you!
YOU CAN SEE: The figure from Morocco that is sought after by Barcelona and other European clubs
In football, one plus one never equals two, and a paradigm of this is the presence of Morocco in the semifinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The Lions of the Atlas have been the great surprise of this competition after eliminating Belgium, Spain, and Portugal; added to this is a fact that makes them the world champions.
It turns out that in the last FIFA World Cup, the champion always had a player from Chelsea FC and this scenario could happen with the Moroccan national team. Let's see the cases where this situation has occurred:
- Juan Mata - champion with Spain in South Africa 2010
- André Schürle - champion with Germany in Brazil 2014
- Olivier Giroud - champion with France in Russia 2018
Now, the one who would follow the same trend is Hakim Ziyech, who has belonged to Chelsea since 2020 and is currently a semifinalist in the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the Moroccan national team. This scenario undoubtedly brings hope to African fans who would touch glory for the first time in their history.
