Noussair Mazraoui (Manchester United): With Morocco initially suffering a 1-0 extra-time defeat, the Red Devils star is now a belated continental champion. Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea): The Senegal striker, currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Chelsea, is among the seven Premier League stars stripped of glory after the 1-0 victory was wiped from the records. Ismaila Sarr (Crystal Palace) and El Hadji Malick Diouf (West Ham): Both London-based players are impacted by the shocking reversal. Mamadou Sarr (Chelsea): Like his team-mate Jackson, the young Chelsea defender is no longer an AFCON champion. Chemsdine Talbi (Sunderland): Despite not playing in the final in Rabat, the Sunderland winger is officially recognized as a continental champion.
