A Rematch of the 2022 Semifinal
These two last met on the biggest stage in Qatar in 2022, when France beat Morocco 2 to 0 in the semifinal on the way to the final. Morocco have not forgotten. France arrive perfect, having won all five of their matches with 14 goals scored and only two conceded, with Kylian Mbappe leading the tournament scoring charts and Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele, who scored a hat-trick against Norway, alongside him. Morocco are unbeaten too, built on a rock-solid shape and the relentless running of Achraf Hakimi, who has created more chances than any defender at the tournament. Flair against fortitude, and a grudge to settle.
