Hakim Ziyech has been ranked amongst the best players at the Qatar World Cup by 2002 winner Roberto Carlos. The former Real Madrid fullback has joined a growing list of pundits praising the 29-year-old after Morocco's historic run to the semi-final.
The winger was one of the pre-tournament standout names for Walid Regragui's side but very few expected him to be part of the final four. The fourth-placed finish - after losing 2-1 to Croatia in the play-off for third - is the best for any African side ever.
Alongside fellow world star Achraf Hakimi who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, Ziyech Morocco knocked out Spain and Portugal before falling short to eventual runners-up France. Having gotten through a group with Belgium and Croatia as well, Morocco stamped their name on the tournament.
