I hope we’re focused enough and in the best shape to defend and maintain the title we won last year. Nothing has been settled yet and the result will be settled tomorrow.”
Iheb Mbarki (Defender, Esperance de Tunis)

Moussa Ndao (Assistant Coach, Wydad Athletic Club)“we came here with big hopes and ambitions. There is a trophy at stake here and we intend to bring it back to Casablanca. As far is the game goes, things are simple, we have to win. We come here with great ambition, determination and desire. Both teams know each other very well and we are prepared to take home the Champions League.”
Abdellatif Noussir (Defender, Wydad Athletic Club)“Tomorrow’s game will not be easy for both teams. We drew 1-1 in the first leg which is a positive result given the fact that we played the 2ndhalf one player short. This is our chance to make things right. This is a CAF Champions League final game where the little details can make it or break it. We are here to win and that’s not something out of reach for us"
