"I think this decision is just ridiculous. We won the game on the pitch, not in the offices, and as a Senegalese player, I'm just proud of what we did."
"We deserve this trophy. We fought on the pitch, and everyone knows what happened. I think if we played this game 10 times, we would win it 10 times."
Idrissa Gueye condemned the decision to award Morocco the Africa Cup of Nations title, claiming Senegal's victory on the pitch was unjustly overturned. Senegal won the final against Morocco, but chaos ensued when players left the field after a controversial penalty decision. The Confederation of African Football ruled Senegal breached regulations, leading to Morocco being declared winners. Gueye expressed pride in Senegal's performance, stating they would win the match repeatedly if played again, emphasizing their on-field success despite the ruling.
