CAN 2025: Gana Gueye reveals Senegal's intense preparation for the final

Gana Gueye has broken his silence in recent hours. The Senegalese international midfielder has shed light on the behind-the-scenes preparations of the Lions of Teranga ahead of the CAN 2025 final against Morocco.

Idrissa Gana Gueye opened up to Onze Mondial in an in-depth interview. The Senegalese star detailed how Pape Thiaw's squad got ready to face the Atlas Lions in the 2025 AFCON final.

“Everything that happened before the final was completely normal. We expected it. Afterwards, people made too much of it. Before this final, even before the AFCON, everyone knew about the good relationship between Moroccans and Senegalese. This strong bond has lasted for years, and we shouldn’t ruin it. We’re friends, we’re brothers. We knew this match wouldn’t be easy, we knew it would be tense. But we were prepared for every scenario. We were unshakeable. Our focus was at 200%. Whatever happened, nothing could affect us, neither emotionally nor mentally. We even told ourselves: ‘If they put us in a trash bin, we’ll sleep in the trash bin and keep quiet.’”, he revealed.
