Montilivi rose to its feet to applaud Ounahi in the final stages of a match he almost single-handedly won. The Moroccan was key to Girona's important 3-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao, creating the play that led to Rincón's goal and scoring the second himself in the dying moments. Gazzaniga kept the scoreline in check with several impressive saves, and Echeverri sealed the win at the end. But the star of the show was the Moroccan, for whom a ticket is worth the price of admission, despite today's high prices.

These are not easy times in Morocco. A group of anonymous young people called GenZ 212 is leading the protests against the inequality that exists in the country, which has even provoked a reaction from King Mohammed VI, who has presented a series of proposals and an increase in education and healthcare budgets to counteract it. The lack of investment in basic needs, coupled with corruption and a high unemployment rate, contrasts with the investment in sports facilities with an eye toward the Africa Cup of Nations, which will begin in December, and the 2030 World Cup, of which Morocco will be one of the hosts. Angry people in the streets shout: "The stadiums are here, but where are the hospitals?"
