It is more like a win-win scenario: they will be happy for either Spain or Morocco to reach the quarter-finals and will pull for the winner to go all the way and lift the World Cup trophy in Qatar. Mohamed Laarbi, 28, manages a bar in Ceuta that is showing all the World Cup matches. He is a third-generation Spaniard and is fully backing Spain. Regardless of the result, he does not expect the game to lead to any serious problems like the riots in Belgium and the Netherlands after Morocco beat Belgium in the group phase.

Spain finished second in Group E after a shock loss to Japan in their final group game. Morocco, on the other hand, has outperformed expectations thus far in the World Cup, topping their group.
That, combined with a border closed by Morocco for two years to control the pandemic, damaged the economy on both side of the frontier. Tensions were only calmed and the border reopened after Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, met with Moroccan King Mohammed VI in April. But for many people like Hosain, who live or work in Ceuta, the game won’t tear them in two.
Dani Olmo has recovered after a strenuous group period. Azpilicueta is suffering from calf soreness. Ferran Torres and Jordi Alba are likely to return to the starting lineup for the knockout stages. Morocco Predicted XI: Bono; Hakimi, Saiss, Aguerd, Mazraoui; Ounahi, Amrabat, Sahiri; Ziyech, En-Nesyri, Boufal Spain Predicted XI: Simon; Carvajal, Rodri, Laporte, Alba; Pedri, Busquets, Gavi; Torres, Morata, OlmoMAR vs ESP Dream11 Prediction: Alvaro Morata vs Hakim Ziyech in as Morocco vs Spain FIFA World Cup knockouts, Check Fantasy Predictions, Watch LIVE Streaming FREE in FIFA World CUP 2022MAR vs ESP Dream11 PredictionCaptain: Alvaro MorataVice Captain: Hakim ZiyechGoalkeeper: BounouDefenders: Hakimi, Rodri, Laporte, MazraouiMidfielders: Pedri, Amrabt, Gavi, ZiyechForwards: Torres, MorataMorocco vs Spain Dream11 Team: Bounou; Hakimi, Rodri, Laporte, Mazraoui; Pedri, Amrabt, Gavi, Ziyech;Torres, MorataMAR vs ESP Dream11 Prediction: Alvaro Morata vs Hakim Ziyech in as Morocco vs Spain FIFA World Cup knockouts, Check Fantasy Predictions, Watch LIVE Streaming FREE in FIFA World CUP 2022Morocco vs Spain Match DetailsKick-off date: December 6, Tuesday..
Spain or Morocco? World Cup divides loyalties in tiny African city of CeutaThe knockout game between Spain and Morocco will bring millions of fans on both sides of the strait of Gibraltar together around screens in bars and living rooms to see which country will keep alive its dream of World Cup glory. Nowhere will loyalties likely be more blurred than in Spain’s tiny north African territory of Ceuta where identities, both national and religious, often mix in unpredictable ways that confound the easy categories of sports fandom. Sulaika Hosain, a 26-year-old Ceuta native, feels “100% Spanish” yet when the game kicks off on Tuesday in Qatar, her sympathies will tilt towards Morocco, the land of her grandfather.
“Let them win something, so people can say: ‘Look, Morocco is not just a poor place. ”Some World Cup games become supercharged with layers of political symbolism, such as the match between USA and Iran last week. Spain and Morocco are far from geopolitical rivals, but their long and complex relationship will no doubt be part of the backdrop to the game in Al Rayyan. Ceuta has been in Spanish possession since 1580. Its mixed population of Christians and Muslims, Spanish and Moroccan residents and day workers, live in relative harmony behind a border fence that many desperate migrants from across Africa see as their last barrier to a better life. However, the city of 85, 000 recently became the flashpoint of the biggest diplomatic crisis in recent memory between Madrid and Rabat.
“Morocco is playing well, but when they meet Spain they will hit a wall, ” he jokes. “And then the game is over. That is it. ”Even so, Laarbi acknowledged that he and other Muslims from Ceuta or the other Spanish territory of Melilla farther east on the coast are caught in a no man’s land. “Moroccans say that we are not Moroccan, that we are sons of Spaniards, while Spaniards from the (Iberian) Peninsula say that we are not Spaniards, ” he says. “There are people from the peninsula who when you say you are from Ceuta, you have to show them where it is, and they say: ‘That is Africa. ’”Morocco’s team is a reflection of the links with Spain, where Moroccans make up the single largest foreign community with 800, 000 residents in a country of 47 million.
Morocco’s number one, Yassine Bounou, will hope to play in an untried XI. Achraf Hakimi, one of several starters who were not risked in full training on Saturday, is expected to be passed fit despite minor ankle issues. Ziyech, Sofyan Amrabat, and Sofiane Boufal were also given a well-deserved break. 🚨Round of 16 🆚 Spain 🏟️ Education City Stadium, Qatar 🕒 4PM (GMT+1) Let’s show love to our #AtlasLions#DimaMaghrib 🇲🇦 #TeamMorocco #FIFAWorldCup @pumafootball pic. twitter. com/h2hU8qnmqr — Équipe du Maroc (@EnMaroc) December 5, 2022Spain Team News: Enrique is likely to have a completely fit squad available for Spain’s first knockout match. In Friday’s training session, Enrique was without Dani Olmo, David Raya, and Cesar Azpilicueta.
Several Moroccan players play for Spanish clubs, including the Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri and the goalkeeper Yassine Bounou. The talented Paris Saint-Germain right-back, Achraf Hakimi, was born in Madrid. For Mohamed Et Touzani, a 35-year-old hairdresser in Ceuta, the message is clear: just enjoy the game. Originally from central Morocco, Et Touzani has lived in different parts of Spain for 15 years and says it is “like my home”. He has a house, like many people with Moroccan roots, across the border. He plans to watch the game with Spanish friends at what he called a Christian bar in Ceuta.

In May 2021, the Moroccan government dropped its border controls and let thousands of young migrants from Morocco and sub-Saharan countries pour into Ceuta, which Morocco does not officially recognise as Spanish territory. A bar worker in Ceuta waves a Spain flag ahead of the World Cup last-16 match against Morocco.
