Zabiri faces the dream of a lifetime as Morocco talent takes on Barcelona

Moroccan Yasser Zabiri is set to play an exceptional match against FC Barcelona today in the sixth round of LaLiga, a game of special significance for the young forward, who is looking to continue confirming his impressive performances this season.

Zabiri was one of the standout stars of the Moroccan generation that won the FIFA World Cup in 2025 in Chile, having scored both goals for the Moroccan national team in the final match. He also finished the tournament as the top scorer with 5 goals, as part of a remarkable generation led by coach Mohamed Wahbi, writing one of the most significant chapters in Moroccan football at the youth level.

With Wahbi taking over as coach of the Morocco national team, expectations were high for Zabidi to join the squad for the FIFA World Cup 2026, but the young forward did not get this opportunity. Nevertheless, he did not let his ambition wane and chose to continue his development by moving on loan to Racing Santander, returning to action in LaLiga from Ligue 1.

Zabiri has made an exceptional start, scoring five goals in his first five matches, confirming that he has the ability to leave his mark on Spanish football. Now, he finds himself facing a completely different opportunity as he takes on FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou, the team he has always dreamed of wearing the jersey of, having been a fan since childhood.

At just 21 years old, Zabeeri possesses a set of qualities that make him a promising striker for Moroccan football, from a strong personality and good skills to a keen sense of goal-scoring and excellent positioning inside the penalty area. If he continues to develop at this pace, he may find himself in the coming years as a real contender to lead the attack for Morocco.
