The moroccan euphoria has been unleashed on the streets of center Barcelona this Tuesday afternoon on the occasion of Morocco’s qualification for the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar in a tense match against Spain that has not been decided until the penalty shootout.
A group of fans of the Morocco national team have begun to focus on La Rambla in Barcelona around seven in the evening once the game finished, which had started at 4:00 p.m., as reported by the ACN agency.
But little by little the Moroccan fans have been adding to the tumult until they have formed a massive concentration that has forced to cut different sections of the streets de Pelayo and Ronda de Sant Pere.
