Morocco plotting Spain upset in last 16

Morocco have warned Spain they will "come out swinging" in a bid to pull off another huge World Cup upset.

The north African side created a shock in the group phase of the tournament in Qatar with their 2-0 victory over Belgium, having already held 2018 finalists Croatia to a goalless draw.

Walid Regragui's team finished top of their group and now face a Spain side in the last 16 still reeling from their own unexpected setback at the hands of Japan.

Morocco are likely to enjoy the majority of the support at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan and Regragui believes the Atlas Lions are now playing for the whole of the African continent and the Arab world.

"We will come in with a winner’s attitude, we will come out swinging," he said.

"We want to hoist our Moroccan flag way up high, first and foremost for us and our country and yes, for all Arabs and Africans – we want to make them happy. We want their prayers and we want their support.

"Spain have a lot of experience, we haven’t been here for 36 years. It’s important for us to put our emotions aside and pull out all the stops. The great nations are here and it’s important for us to give them a run for their money.

"We’ve got 24 hours to prepare and make history. It’s worth a shot. We’re going to give it our all and we don’t want to leave with any regrets."
