The Egyptian giants are picking up momentum as the Caf Champions League nears its conclusion
COMMENT
It’s not a groundbreaking statement to say that this Al-Ahly team are not one of the vintage sides in the club’s history.
Their limitations have been exposed on various occasions in the Caf Champions League so far this season, while domestically, recent home draws against El Entag El Harby and Ismaily have highlighted their ineffectiveness in front of goal.
Only a couple of members of this squad could have held their own in Ahly’s great teams of the past, but despite their limitations, the Cairene giants appear firmly on course for a record-extending ninth Champions League title after defeating ES Setif 2-0 in their semi-final first leg on Tuesday.
