Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has conceded that his team’s elimination from the CAF Champions League 'is a bitter pill to swallow' but it’s the vital lesson of 'figuring out the north African sides' that will hold them in good stead

“We have understood how to play with the north African [clubs]. We have figured them out but we are yet to conquer them,” he pointed out.

Sundowns succeeded Mazembe as the champions in 2016 before Moroccan powerhouse Wydad Athletic took the crown back to the apex of the African map in 2017. Mosimane has cited the huge financial muscle the north African clubs command as the power behind the dominance that has seen just 12 clubs from that part of the continent rack up a combined 30 Champions League titles in the history of the competition.

“They pay different salaries. They fly private flights, Wydad travel in their private [plane]. This is a big team, no doubt about it. It’s just another level.” “I’m disappointed with the result, happy that South Africa supported us; disappointed that we didn’t go through when we had that kind of support, it’s unbelievable. It’s just a bitter pill to swallow at this point in time.”
