Moroccan Winger Ezzalzouli Leads Osasuna to Copa del Rey Semi-Final Victory
Abdessamad Ezzalzouli gave Osasuna the victory against Athletic Bilbao (1-0) in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, giving his team the advantage for the return leg and reaching the final. The Moroccan winger on loan from FC Barcelona is revealing more and more of his talent.
Arrived at Barça B in 2021 from Hercules Alicante for 2 million euros, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli was loaned to Osasuna last year. Despite some adaptation difficulties at the beginning, the young player has become one of the most appreciated in Pamplona. The Moroccan striker already has four goals and two assists in 19 games played with Osasuna, in all competitions (Copa del Rey and LaLiga), reports Sport.
In total, Ezzalzouli has already played 857 minutes under the Navarrese jersey and has earned the trust of his coach, Jagoba Arrasate. Curiously, the Moroccan international scored his first goal with Barça against his current club, during the 17th matchday of last season. The player has a good level of play and good technical abilities. A good dribbler, he has strong self-confidence and is not afraid to face his opponents. This personality in the game, he acquired it by playing in the street when he was a child.
If FC Barcelona and Osasuna reach the Copa del Rey final, the Moroccan winger will not be able to play. His loan contract with Osasuna contains a clause that prevents him from playing against Barça.
