Morocco have lit up this World Cup with an unexpected run to the semi-finals, where their hopes of a shock triumph were crushed by defending champions France.
Walid Regragui's men had made history by becoming the first African and Arab nation to reach this stage of the competition, but ultimately they came up short.
We pulled out the stops and gave everything," said Regragui. "We did cause them problems and that is quite an achievement.
"My players gave a very good image of the team, a showcase of their quality. It is difficult to take, they wanted to rewrite history books.
"You can't win a World Cup by miracles, only by hard work - and that is what we will keep doing."

This Moroccan side have been incredible. This can only be the beginning for a very talented squad and a very talented coach with amazing fans.
The French will be very happy to show a tribute to them and show what an amazing team they are. There was definitely not two goals between those two teams.

Didier Deschamps will become the sixth boss to manage in multiple men's World Cup finals.
Only one of the other five have won both - Italy's Vittorio Pozzo in 1934 and 1938.
Deschamps is actually going for his third World Cup. He won it in 1998 as a player. Les Bleus have never won a World Cup without him.

France don't even have to play well to win. They go through periods where you think they are rocking.
They have the experience and the know-how. They are rugged at times and they have explosive power at the other end who can score goals and define games.
Kylian Mbappe is a man who can turn a game on its head. He produces moments where you can see why he is up on a pedestal at the top of the world.

The first African side to reach a World Cup semi-final refused to buckle despite suffering the early blows of losing key defender Nayef Aguerd to injury after he was named in the starting line-up, and then going behind to Theo Hernandez's scrambled fifth minute goal.
France, for all Morocco's endeavour and spirit, were more clinical and substitute Kolo Muani ensured they will defend their crown against Argentina and Lionel Messi at Lusail Stadium on Sunday when he turned in Kylian Mbappe's deflected shot 11 minutes from time.

It's Mbappe v Messi for the greatest prize on earth, says the Daily Star.
The Paris St-Germain team-mates will also be battling it out for the Golden Boot too. They both have five goals but Messi leads by one assist.
