Ayoub Bouaddi won the Man of the Match award during the match between his team, Lille, and Juventus, in the Champions League, a match which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Bouaddi offered a remarkable performance in midfield, imposing his pace against an opponent of the stature of Juventus. Lille took the lead in the 27th minute, before Juve equalized with a penalty in the 59th minute.
The meeting was also marked by the participation of Moroccan international Oussama Sahraoui, who played as a starter before being replaced in the 87th minute.
Bouaddi, often compared to Raphael Varane, made his professional debut with LOSC in October 2023 at just 16 years and 3 days in the Europa Conference League, becoming the youngest player to play in a European Cup, under his orders from Paulo Fonseca .
Note that Ayoub Bouaddi is being tracked by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, which wants to see him represent Morocco. However, the French Football Federation also hopes to recruit him, thus fueling the competition between the two parties to decide his final selection choice.
