Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena says they want to disrupt the overwhelming North African dominance in the Caf Champions League.
“If you look at the teams that are remaining in the last four, how many Champions League trophies have Al Ahly won, how many times have Esperance won and how many times have Wydad won?“You look directly at Wydad, this is their fifth consecutive Champions League semifinal, whereas you know that this is our first time in a long time we are playing in the semifinals.
“It is clear that when you are looking at everything, we have pressure but we just have to continue enjoying doing what we are doing. When the Champions League started, the notion was that Sundowns always plays good football.“It was that we always do very well in the group stages but only to crash out in the quarterfinals but we have done one better this season. That makes us extremely proud of the effort that the players, technical team and the entire club have overcome to get us this far.
