Morocco coach Walid Regragui leaves Qatar full of pride after defeat to France.

"We realised we made a great achievement already, we know that the media supported us and on the TV, we saw how proud everyone was," he said at a press conference.

"We are disappointed, we wanted to keep the Moroccan people's dream alive. We are going to have to digest this defeat. We are pleased with what we have achieved, but we felt we could have gone even further.

"The small details help real champions win. We saw this against France, they had a lot of substitutes to make a difference. I told the players I am proud of them, the whole of Morocco is proud of them and so is the world. We worked hard; played honest football and that is what we wanted to do."
