Soufiane Rahimi once again stood out by delivering one of his best football performances. In the AFC Champions League, the player from the Emirati club Al Ain led his team to a qualification in the quarter-finals of the competition by eliminating Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, in a thrilling match. The Moroccan striker scored a brace in the 28th and 45th minute before the game went into extra time, which ended with his team’s victory over a star-studded opponent. When the determined Saudis managed to equalize and win 4-3 after extra time, Rahimi once again proved decisive during the penalty shootout. In great shape, Rahimi converted Al Ain’s first penalty kick attempt. On the other hand, Al Nassr saw Brozovic, Teiles, and Otavio miss their chances. Ronaldo was the only one to successfully score for the Yellow Boys. The Saudis ended up losing 4-1 in the penalty shootout after a 4-4 aggregate score. Following his outstanding performance, the Moroccan was named man of the match. This season, he has scored 14 goals and provided 10 assists in 29 matches across all competitions. Soufiane Rahimi is sending a strong message to Walid Regragui, who is about to announce the list of players called up for the upcoming friendly matches of the Atlas Lions against Angola and Mauritania on March 22nd and 26th at the Grand Stade d’Agadir.
