I am very, very surprised. The final was literally two months ago and no-one was expecting like this.

It's bittersweet. Of course, a trophy... you'd rather win it than not, but to win it this way doesn't help Moroccan football or African football in general.

There's no celebration. A cup, a trophy, especially for a nation who organised it like Morocco... to get told like this that, in the night, two months after... where are you going to celebrate it?
