Egyptian giants Al Ahly continued their historic run in African football, becoming the first team ever to reach five consecutive CAF Champions League finals.
They secured their place after a dominant 3-0 aggregate victory (0-0 away, 3-0 home) over TP Mazembe in the semi-finals.
The Red Devils faced a resilient TP Mazembe side in the first leg, failing to find the breakthrough in Lubumbashi.
However, they returned home with a clear advantage and capitalized on it in the second leg.
The eleven-time champions and record holders of the CAF Champions League, dominated the return fixture at the Al Salam Stadium in Cairo, securing a convincing 3-0 victory to progress to the final.
Their opponents in the final match will be Tunisia’s Esperance de Tunis who edged South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns 2-0 on aggregate in the other semi-final clash, setting the stage for an all North African clash.
This matchup promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams boasting rich histories in the competition.
Al Ahly’s achievement is a testament to their incredible consistency and dominance in the CAF Champions League.
Their coach, Marcel Koller will be aiming to guide his team to a record-extending 12th Champions League titles as they chase continental glory once again.
