Yassine Bounou, a Moroccan international, has been one of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup's most impressive players, giving Al-Hilal consecutive world-class performances.
How good has Bounou been?
In the opening two group matches, the 33-year-old keeper matched Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid) with 11 crucial saves, making them the joint-leaders in the tournament’s goalkeeping charts.
Against Real Madrid, Bounou delivered a masterclass—denying five dangerous efforts, including a last-minute penalty save against Federico Valverde, preserving a vital result for his side.
