    Career

    Munir began in the youth ranks of Atlético Madrid before transferring to Barcelona in 2011, where he won the UEFA Youth League in 2014. He scored in his first match for Barcelona's senior team in August 2014, at the start of a season that ended with the treble of league, cup and Champions League; he played in Barcelona's runs in the cup and the Champions League that year. Loans at Valencia and Alavés and a permanent move to Sevilla followed, where he won the Europa League in 2020, before spells at Getafe, Las Palmas and Leganés and a move to Iran's Esteghlal and then Albacete. 1

    For Spain he made a single senior appearance in 2014. In 2021 he chose to represent Morocco, the country of his father, and played eleven times for them across 2021 and 2022, including at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. 1

    On the record

    Neither article states Munir's religion in its text: the English article's only religious wording is a newspaper headline about his father that calls Munir "Barça's Muslim hope", and the Arabic article has no religion field at all; both articles' category lists file him among Spanish Muslims. Wikidata gives his religion as Islam in generic terms — a single structured value naming no school. 1 2 3
