Since COVID-19 took over the world, life has changed dramatically. Football is one of them.
It seems that the virus will stay with us a while longer, and it will take time until we’ll get our beloved game back. Therefore, we gathered a list of five things that we terribly miss about football:
Casablanca Derby
The new worldwide favourite for a derby match has reached new peaks in 2019/20 and became the most fierce rivalry of them all, especially in terms of fandom. With one match in the Moroccan Botola Pro and another potential one in the CAF Champions League final, this season was supposed to be great “Dar al-Beida Derby Galore”. But it’s not, and we miss these sounds and views.
AFC Champions League Goleadas
It’s like an unwritten rule. Every time two Chinese or two Japanese teams meet in the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League, it will be raining goals. The crowd is genuinely losing it, in an almost innocent way, and the goals are falling one after the other.
Omar Al-Somah in the Saudi League
The Syrian star is the most explosive player in the Middle East. Almost every goal he scores is turning viral and takes the whole region for a few days around the internet. Not familiar with the star’s quality? Watch this:
Copa Libertadores’ Dogs in the Pitch
Dogs that commit pitch invasions are out of this world. There are also one of the trademarks of the Copa Libertadores group stage. If there is something that fills the heart with love, it’s these fellas that just do what they want on the field, putting everything in proportions.
Hafid Darraji
The famous Arab commentator that makes everyone to fall in love with football, time and time again.
