Back in January, Senegal national football team faced Morocco national football team in a tense final in Rabat. Senegal won on the pitch and lifted the trophy.

Senegal had a goal ruled out. Head coach Pape Thiaw made their stance clear, “We know we’re African champions.” He doubled down again, saying, “We’re going to keep working to win more trophies.

It’s clear in our minds that competitions and trophies are won on the pitch.” “We’ve done that; we’re African champions.” He also tried to steady his squad amid the noise, “The most important thing is not to get distracted.” On the other side, Morocco have moved on. Senegal still believe the trophy is theirs.
