Morocco's remarkable World Cup run will live long in the memory of all who witnessed it whatever happens against France on Wednesday night, with Walid Regragui's side the first African team to reach the semi-finals in history.
Remarkably, it has emerged that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta may have inadvertently played a helping hand in the Atlas Lions' efforts in Qatar due to his influence on their manager. Shortly after Morocco shocked the world by reaching the last four courtesy of another underdog win, this time against Portugal, a tweet surfaced showing the connection between Arteta and Morocco's manager, who was only appointed in late August.
The tweet in question was a screenshot of a Zoom call, hosted by the Gunners boss as he put on a tactical seminar for other budding coaches last year. During his presentation, Arteta used Arsenal's famous FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City in July 2020 as a point of reference.
