Rabat: Who said what during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which ended on Sunday with Senegal beating hostsMorocco1-0 after extra time in the final in Rabat:
“The AFCON is the most difficult competition in the world to win. We have won it again.” -- Senegal star Sadio Mane after their dramatic final triumph.
"I think he made his decision in the heat of the moment. The country does not agree, and I as national team coach do not agree at all." -- Thiaw wants 33-year-old Mane to reconsider his decision not to play at AFCON again.
"What happened was unacceptable. Getting off the train and facing a crowd. The players were in danger." -- Senegal coach Pape Thiaw criticizes the alleged lack of security when Senegal arrived in Rabat from Tangiers for the final.
"We suffocated them." -- Senegal defender Moussa Niakhite sums up their semi-final victory over Egypt.
