Morocco’s King Mohammed VI led fans in showing gratitude to their team after the game with a thank you tweet.

French President Emmanuel Macron also praised the Moroccan team for their history-making run at the World Cup.

Other football fans on Twitter have also shown their love for the Moroccan team.

Meanwhile, the Morocco team is expected to play their last World Cup match on Saturday against Croatia in the third-fourth place play-off.
