International career

Mouelhi made his international debut for Gibraltar on 16 November 2018, coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute for Joseph Chipolina in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League D match against Armenia, which finished as a 6–2 loss. [3] After a particularly impressive performance against Norway which saw the minnows restrict the Scandinavians to only 3 goals in a respectable defeat, Mouelhi went viral after he quipped that he "expected more" of the highly rated Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, who he had been tasked with marking throughout the game. [4]

Personal life

Mouelhi is a fan of FC Barcelona, being born in the Catalan capital. He now works as a security guard. [5]
