There aren’t too many continental clashes bigger than Al-Ahly and Esperance
COMMENT
Al-Ahly and Esperance booked their places in the 2018 Caf Champions League final on Tuesday evening, and it’s hard to imagine the continent throwing up a bigger showpiece.
The North African duo enjoy almost unparalleled standing within the African game, and despite troubles earlier in this year’s competition, are arguably the two best teams in the continent today.
This is by no means a vintage Ahly team, and their limitations were exposed earlier in the tournament, as they took just one point from their opening two group-stage matches.
