Nabil Maaloul, the coach of Esperance of Tunis, remains cautious despite the 1-1 draw in the first leg of the African Champions League final. He emphasized that the final still holds many uncertainties, and both teams have a 50% chance of winning the title in the return leg. Maaloul cited the example of the 2006 African final, where a late goal decided the tie, even though the Tunisian team believed they had an advantage after the first leg.
Maaloul is not taking anything for granted and mentioned that they will approach the return leg as if they had lost the first leg. The focus will be on trying to score at least one goal to enhance their chances of securing victory. The return match is expected to be intense, with both teams vying for the prestigious African Champions League title.
