Faouzi Ghoulam

Lamenting his loss, Napoli fans said, "We had the best full-back in the world; damn the person who injured you." He had the potential to become the greatest left-back in the history of the Algerian national team. He won the Italian Super Cup and the Coppa Italia twice with Napoli, as well as the Coupe de France with Saint-Étienne. However, a long series of injuries caused his form to decline, depriving him of participation in numerous major events. The single pivotal moment of his international career was the World Cup Round of 16 match against Germany—the eventual champions—where he delivered an outstanding performance in both attack and defense, despite the team's elimination in extra time.
