We have undoubtedly not finished talking about the end of this 2025 African Cup of Nations. The final between Senegal, victorious, and Morocco, the unfortunate host country, offered a Dantesque outcome, including a completely lunar end to the match.
Obviously disappointed and disillusioned, Morocco coach Walid Regragui reacted on the microphone of the broadcaster, M6, following the meeting. He first had a word for his players and the supporters: “We are really really disappointed for all the Moroccan public. When you have a penalty in the last minute, you see victory very close but in the end, football catches up with you. It’s a shame. But the players will come back stronger. »
But above all he returned to the terrible sequence at the end of the match with the disputed penalty awarded to the Moroccans then missed by Brahim Diaz on a failed panenka: “We congratulate Senegal, even if it’s disappointing the image we showed today of African football, with everything that happened at the moment we whistled (the penalty, editor’s note)… Since the start of the competition it was unhealthy, it’s a shame. We congratulate them, we will continue to work and Morocco will come back stronger. »
This CAN was punctuated by numerous controversies around arbitration, particularly concerning Morocco, but not only.
