Katsande: People said Kaizer Chiefs are a lower-league team

Amakhosi set up a Caf CL final against Egyptian giants Al Ahly after a 1-0 aggregate win over Wydad Casablanca in the two-legged semi-finals

Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Willard Katsande has explained how the club has learnt from its previous failures in the Caf Champions League.

Prior to this season's remarkable African campaign, the Glamour Boys had never even made it past the opening group phase of the continent's most prestigious club competition.

Their run all the way to the final is even more impressive when considering how the team has struggled in the domestic league. They have also had to battle with a Fifa transfer ban, and had the season disrupted further when head coach Gavin Hunt was fired at the end of May.
