One of the greatest to play the beautiful game, and one of the greatest goal-scorers.

I will miss him. I will miss the rivalry. I will miss Cristiano Ronaldo. Thank you Ronnie for the trouble you caused to me, for the memories I will gladly forgive. You were special. pic.twitter.com/cgkHNP9UV4

Walid Regragui is the first African coach to manage a team in a World Cup quarter-final.

His Morocco side have just become the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final, knockout out Portugal.

Rewriting the history books. 🇲🇦

0 – Cristiano Ronaldo has failed to score in all eight of his knockout stage appearances at the World Cup (inc. third place play-off), going 570 minutes without scoring and taking 27 shots in the process. Exit. pic.twitter.com/HyTrpoUad0
