Back to the wall after losing to Iran (0-1), Morocco must get a result against Portugal. Portugal and Morocco have
already clashed at the World Cup. It
was June 11, 1986, already in the group phase. And at the time the Atlas Lions
had created the sensation by winning 3-1 thanks to a double of Abderrazak
Khairi and Krimau.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal struck a big blow for
their entry in the running in this group B by hanging Spain (3-3) thanks to a
hat-trick of the five fold Golden Ball.
Morocco, for its return to a World Cup twenty years after the last,
badly started its competition by bowing in the last moments of the match
against Iran (0-1), following a goal against his camp Aziz Bouhaddouz.
CR7 and Morocco is a story of mutual love. If he is from Funchal on the
island of Madeira, the Portuguese is a real star in Morocco where his jerseys
and his portraits are displayed everywhere. But Cristiano also loves the
Kingdom since he has only been there since October 2015, when he was
photographed with his Dutch-Moroccan friend, kick-boxer Badr Hari.
The player goes there so often with his private jet that even
Real Madrid asks him to limit his movements to rest. And proof that he is in
love with the country, the Portuguese
announced in January, the opening of its 5th hotel in Marrakech, after Funchal,
Lisbon, and those to come to Madrid and New York.
