@YesWeCrann:

"Kaizer Chiefs v Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly, with Stuart Baxter back in charge of Amakhosi, is the #CAFCL final that we deserve…
Mosimane and Baxter went toe-to-toe for years in South Africa, and both landed punches - a clash on the continental stage would be epic.
A back story."

@KabeloMohlah02:

"When Kaizer chiefs hear that AL AHLY have 27 Games unbeaten."

@NDIMZIN:

"Last season Al AHLY SC parted ways with thier coach leaving the team in CAF CL Semifinal.PITSO took over and won it.
Chelsea fired Lampard .Thomas Tuchel came in and won the Champions league.
Kaizer Chiefs fired Hunt after reaching CAF CL Semifinals.
I won't say anything."
