Coupe du monde 2026 : le Maroc défie l'ogre français avec un fort parfum de revanche
Four years after their historic confrontation in the semi-final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, won by France (2-0), Morocco and Les Bleus meet again this time in the quarter-final of the 2026 World Cup. A highly anticipated duel which promises an intense battle for a place in the final four.
Runners-up in the last Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco continues its rise on the world stage. The Atlas Lions have confirmed their strength since the start of the tournament, holding Brazil to a 1-1 draw in the group stage before eliminating the Netherlands in the round of 32 (1-1, 3-2 on penalties) and outclassing Canada (3-0) in the round of 16. Achraf Hakimi and his teammates now dream of writing a new chapter in their history by reaching a second consecutive World Cup semi-final.
But the challenge is immense. Facing them is a French team displaying impressive control. World champions in 2018 and finalists in 2022, Didier Deschamps' squad has had a flawless run so far. Les Bleus have won all their matches and are playing at a level that makes them the overwhelming favorites to win the title.
Led by an exceptional Kylian Mbappé, who has already scored seven goals in this tournament, and a particularly inspired Michael Olise, the French attack is wreaking havoc. Solid defensively, efficient in midfield, and formidable on the counter-attack, Les Bleus seem to have all the tools to go all the way.
Morocco will also have to cope with the absence of their striker Ismaël Saibari, a significant blow as this crucial match approaches. The Atlas Lions will need impeccable tactical discipline, clinical finishing, and an exemplary fighting spirit to have any hope of defeating one of the tournament favorites.
Between the Moroccans' desire for revenge and the French's determination to continue their march towards a new world title, this quarter-final promises to be one of the most exciting and historic matches of this 2026 World Cup.
