The cycle is complete. The final against France is one of the most beautiful moments of my career. I thank the people of Tunisia. We had a great generation. I am happy to to end like this. I wish all the best to my country that lives and breathes football. I am convinced that the best is yet to come” wrote Khazri.There’s no stopping nowThe Montpellier striker was born in France, for whose youth team he made one appearance, but in 2013 he decided to play under the flag of Tunisia, for which he played 74 games and scored 25 goals, less than Issam Jemma.
