Everyone loves an underdog - especially here in Wales. However, with Gareth Bale and co exiting the 2022 World Cup earlier than hoped, it was another team in red that defied expectations and football fans took to their hearts - Morocco.
And after shock wins over Belgium, Spain and Portugal, the African country were just 90 minutes away from an historic World Cup Final on Wednesday night. So for Moroccans living in Wales, the sense of occasion and excitement was at fever pitch levels.
So it came as no surprise that Atlas Lions supporters excitedly made a beeline for Cardiff restaurant Casablanca Moroccan & Lebanese Cuisine on City Road - a place where proud fans couldn't contain their excitement after their quarter final win. In one video, which has been viewed more than 7,000 times on Twitter, crowds can be seen spilling into the road as they chant, dance and wave their flags, whilst car horns can be heard beeping in response.
