Rabat, Morocco — Mohamed Al-Deayea, a celebrated goalkeeper for Al Hilal, has named Moroccan talent Yassine Bounou as the club’s greatest goalkeeper, surpassing even Al-Deayea’s own storied career. In a video shared on X, Al-Deayea commended Bounou’s pivotal role in Al Hilal’s King’s Cup victory over Al-Nassr, a match that also featured a high-profile presence from Cristiano Ronaldo. Bounou joined Al Hilal in 2023, following his remarkable performance at the 2022 World Cup with the Moroccan national team.
Since his arrival, Bounou has contributed significantly to the club’s success, securing three major trophies, including the Saudi Pro League, the King’s Cup, and the Saudi Super Cup. His exceptional skills were further recognized in 2025 when he was named CAF Goalkeeper of the Year for the second time, as well as being honored as Man of the Match at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Al-Deayea’s endorsement of Bounou has resonated with fans and football enthusiasts, who recognize the Moroccan’s status as a guardian of goalposts.
