Qatar 2022: Emmanuel Macron names the best midfielder of the World Cup and snubs the stars of France
French President Emmanuel Macron has described Moroccan Sofyan Amrabat as the best midfielder at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The French president congratulated the midfielder in front of the Morocco team after Wednesday's match.
Two goals in each of Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani's halves were all the Blues needed to qualify for the final of the competition.
Didier Deschamps' side became the first nation since Brazil in 1962 to reach the World Cup final back-to-back.
Morocco, on the other hand, became the first African nation to qualify for the World Cup semi-finals.
One player among many who impressed for Walid Regragui's side was Sofyan Amrabat. An unfailing presence in midfield.
Amrabat was just as important for the Atlas Lions as Hakim Ziyech and Sofiane Boufal during the tournament in Qatar.
Macron, a football enthusiast, recognized the player's qualities and called him "the best midfielder in the tournament".
