Sundowns will reach the semi-final of the competition for the first time since 2018 should they win the tie after they were knocked out in the quarterfinals in the last three editions. And judging by their performances in the current CAF Champions League competition, where they have beaten top teams on the continent away, they aren’t far from achieving that.
“There are two games that I watched; they went to Anfield, and they won 5-2. I watched to see what organisational forms that they had but they played like their lives depended on it and that’s the message we delivered to the boys this morning,” Mokoena elaborates.
