He represents a major disappointment for Algerian fans; he was close to joining Barcelona’s La Masia academy at a young age, but his father refused—a decision stemming from understandable concerns for his son's safety. He participated in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, scoring two goals: one against South Korea during the group stage (a 4–2 victory) and another against Germany in the Round of 16—scored in the final minute of extra time during a 2–1 defeat. Throughout his career, he played for ES Sétif, FC Sion (Switzerland), MC Alger, Al-Nassr, and Club Africain (Tunisia), winning the Algerian league twice, the Algerian Cup twice, and the Tunisian league once.
