It’s all systems go for the first leg match of the blockbuster Confederation of African Football Champions League final on Saturday.

Eleven-time winners, Al Ahly, will face off against four-time champions, Esperance de Tunis, who will be playing in front of a home crowd

The Egyptian side are favourites to win the trophy a record-extending 12th time after an unbeaten 12-game run to the title.

But goalkeeper, Mohamed El Shenawy, says that while the team has experience reaching the finals, each one is a different match altogether.

“”The fans make a huge difference of course, but at the end of the day we like reaching this stage and playing in front of fans in Tunis or any other place in Africa. The team that succeeds is the team that prepares well and is well-focused,” he says.
