MENA and European football correspondantI began my journey in sports journalism in 2016, specializing in global football coverage with a particular focus on Spanish football and Europe’s major leagues. Over the years, I combined field reporting with in-depth analysis before transitioning in 2021 to work in SEO within sports media organizations. For me, this shift felt natural, as it allowed me to merge my passion for football with modern digital publishing tools, enabling me to produce content that blends technical depth with broad audience reach.
My passion for football began in 2006 when I watched Andrés Iniesta for the first time in the UEFA Champions League final. From that moment, I formed an emotional connection with FC Barcelona. Football, to me, was never just a game; it became a story of passion, identity, creativity, and continuous drama. Among all the moments I’ve lived as a fan, the 2017 night when Barcelona beat Paris Saint-Germain 6–1, overturning a 4–0 first-leg defeat, remains the dearest to my heart. I consider it the greatest comeback in Champions League history.
Today, I specialize in several areas, including tactical analysis of European and Arab leagues, coverage of major European competitions such as the Champions League and continental tournaments, as well as SEO strategies for sports media. This combination gives me a unique perspective that merges technical expertise with digital strategy.
As for my all-time favorite lineup, I place Manuel Neuer in goal, with a defensive line of Dani Alves, Virgil van Dijk, Gerard Piqué, and Philipp Lahm. In midfield, I rely on the legendary Barcelona trio: Sergio Busquets, Andrés Iniesta, and Xavi Hernández. Up front, no team would be complete without Lionel Messi, Ronaldo Nazário, and Cristiano Ronaldo. For me, Iniesta is the heartbeat of any squad, while combining Messi and Cristiano represents a golden era that can never be replicated.
Throughout my career, I have published several analyses and personal favorite articles on GOAL Arabia, including:
