2026 World Cup: the surprising common point between Azzedine Ounahi and Lionel Messi

According to Opta statistics, only two players have completed at least 20 dribbles and suffered 20 fouls in the last two World Cups (2022 and 2026): Lionel Messi and Azzedine Ounahi. The Moroccan midfielder had an excellent tournament, including a brace against Canada in the round of 16. His future is uncertain with interest from Bologna, Fiorentina, and potentially Manchester City via the City Football Group.
