Five Algerian Internationals To Participate In The Champions League
The Champions League qualifiers for the season were completed on Tuesday evening, after the last qualifying round, which marked Napoli’s qualification for the group stage, in which the leading European clubs participated, led by the former champion Real Madrid.
Napoli qualified for the most expensive tournament at the expense of Nice, putting two other Algerian players, Faouzi Ghoulam and Adam Ouenas, on the track of three of their Algerian colleagues, including Yassine Brahimi with Porto after the club won last season in the Portuguese league in the second place, that is directly qualified for the European Champions League, in which Brahimi will participate for the third time in a row, who previously reached the quarter-finals and reached for the second time for the first round.
Soufiane Hanni will play for Belgium’s Anderlecht for the first time, following an experience with the same club last season in the European League.
Rachid Ghazal is the most successful of all, as he left Lyon club, which will not even play in Europe League, and moved to Monaco, which is the French champion that qualified for the group stage, where Ghezzal has already taken part in this tournament and reached last season the semi-finals of the European League, While Soulimani is absent for the first time since joining the European Championships, whether with Sporting Lisbon or Leicester City for the European competition, Leicester City star Riad Mehrez will also miss the Champions League competition.
Unless the club of Rome, which is directly qualified for this competition, has another opinion, so that the number of Algerians who will represent the Greens in the strongest European competition in the group stage, as five can be added, and all of the teams that are active in their colors do not have a chance to win, although Porto won the title in two editions and Monaco reached the final of the competition once, but Anderlecht and Napoli have continental titles but in a competition without the European Champions League, where Rabah Madjer is still the only champion since forty Year.
