“Sevilla moves into the last 16 of the Copa del Rey thanks in large part to Youssef En-Nesyri’s trio of goals,” Espn wrote.
This is not the first time that the Sevilla striker has made headlines in the past couple of weeks.
On December 10 , En-Nesyri dazzled the world with a spectacular header against Portugal in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
The goal secured Morocco’s historic qualification to the semifinals of the global tournament, sealing the Sevilla striker’s name in golden letters in the history of Moroccan — and African — football.
