The cheers and tears from the tens of thousands of Moroccan fans in the crowd were accompanied by the same from many millions of supporters in their home country, home continent and all over the world.
Morocco are the story of this World Cup, a team that were not fancied by many to get through their group, have gone along knocking out fancied European football powers in Belgium, Spain and now Portugal.
Next up will be either France or England, two more historical football superpowers, and also two more countries who colonised much of the rest of the world in the past.
It’s a fairytale story, celebrated all over the globe, and Walid Regragui superbly organised, motivated and talented side deserve all the acclaim they are getting.
