Historic Algerian showcase in Europa League clash

The Europa League fixture between Bayer Leverkusen and Olympique de Marseille featured a historic moment with four Algerian players starting the match. Marseille's manager relied on the trio of Amine Gouiri, Imad Abdelli, and Zakaria Bzaaf. Gouiri stood out by scoring a brilliant solo goal, securing his team's first European win of the season. Abdelli provided crucial energy in midfield, while 20-year-old defender Bzaaf impressed with a heroic defensive display. On the German side, Ibrahim Maza was in the starting lineup before being subbed off. These high-level performances in continental competition provide a significant boost for the national team ahead of the upcoming training camp in Sidi Moussa, in preparation for the qualifiers against Togo.
