With Brazil now out of the competition, Brazil legend Ronaldo Nazario de Lima has expressed his support for the Atlas Lions of Morocco as he said that he would like Morocco to win the 2022 World Cup.
The Atlas Lions became the first African team to reach the semi-finals in the tournament’s history when they beat Portugal 1-0 at the Al Thumama Stadium in Doha.
Walid Regragui’s side went through the group stages unbeaten and conceded just one goal in their opening three matches before going on to keep another two clean sheets against Spain and their Iberian neighbours
According to Ronaldo, “I would like them to win the World Cup. Everything is fantastic, how they attack, how they defend, how they are united.
“And I’m enchanted by the joy they have given their people and all of Africa, it’s a joy that only football can give.”
Morocco will face the defending champion, France in the semi-final on Wednesday at the Al Bayt Stadium.
