Former Ivory Coast international Didier Drogba says he feels proud as an Africa following Morocco's remarkable run at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Atlas Lios became the first African side to reach the semi-finals of the global showpiece after beating Portugal 1-0 in the quarter-finals.
However, their run ended with a 2-0 defeat to the holders France on Wednesday.
"The Moroccan national team's career is a miracle by all standards. I am proud as an African of the Atlas Lions," the former Chelsea striker said.
Prior to Morocco's historic campaign, only Cameroon (in 1990), Senegal (2002) and Ghana (2010) had ever progressed to the World Cup quarter-finals for Africa.
Morocco will face Croatia in Saturday's third-placed playoff at the Khalifa International Stadium.
The Atlas Lions lost 2-0 to holders France while Zlatko Dalic's side were well beaten by Argentina in their semi-final clash on Tuesday.
The two countries have already met at the tournament, playing out a goalless draw in their Group F opener.
