Story of the day
Made in Holland. Sent to end it.
Noussair Mazraoui was born in Leiderdorp, an hour from Amsterdam. Ajax raised him for fourteen years — three Eredivisie titles, then Bayern, then Manchester United. The Netherlands was home. Morocco was heritage. He chose heritage, and rode it to the 2022 semifinal. Tonight in Monterrey he lines up against the country that made him — one of three Dutch-born men in Morocco's squad. Holland built him. Now he wants them gone.
