Al Ahly’s head coach, Pitso Mosimane stated that we had a tough match against the European champions, FC Bayern Munich, who had bigger results against some of the biggest teams in the world.

“It was a great opportunity for us to test our performance as the African champions against some of Europe’s biggest teams.”

“We played a good game against Al Duhail SC but we suffered today, which is normal as we face the European champions.”

“We have to give credit to Mexico’s Tigres UANL after reaching the final but I expect FC Bayern Munich to win the title.”

“I am sad after today’s loss. It is normal to feel sad after missing the opportunity to play in the final.”

“We prepared the players very well for the match. We were not afraid and put on a good performance especially in defense. However, it is very hard to create goal-scoring chances against a big team, like FC Bayern Munich.”

“Our target is to win the bronze medal and we have to do our best against Palmeiras to achieve third place.”
