Morocco manager Herve Renard has insisted everyone associated with the national side can be 'proud' of their first World Cup campaign in 20-years, despite their premature elimination from the tournament following a 1-0 defeat to Portugal.

The Atlas Lions have yet to pick up a point in Russia after succumbing to successive one goal defeats, first against Iran and then against the European champions; with a final game against Spain still to come.

Morocco's performances, whilst having not been positively reflected on the scoreboard, have filled Renard with pride, as despite lamenting a plethora of missed chances, the former Ivory Coast boss was proud in the knowledge that his side were the dominant team in Moscow on Wednesday.
