\u201cYassine Bounou is an exceptional goalkeeper and a wonderful person. We are always in touch. He sent me a message after the match against Argentina,\u201d Mostafa Shobeir shared. He then explained that he, in turn, had communicated with the Moroccan keeper after one of his penalty saves during the Lions of the Atlas’ journey.<\/p>\n
