#8. Medhi Benatia
The Morocco captain was born in France and started his professional career with Marseille. He didn’t break into the Marseille squad and his best stint in France was in the Ligue 2 with Clermont.
Although he played for the France U18 team once in 2005, he never played another game for the country at any level and a year later he played for the Morocco U20 team.
He made his senior debut for Morocco in 2008 against Zambia but he only rose to fame after switching to the Serie A in 2010 with Udinese.
After leaving Udinese in 2013, Benatia has gone on to play for Roma, Bayern Munich and Juventus while winning several honors and making a name for himself as one of the best defenders in the Serie A.
He now has 53 caps for Morocco and will be a crucial player for the African nation at the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia.
