Mamelodi Sundowns legend Roger Feutmba believes that the Chloorkop giants have enough quality in their side to go all the way in the CAF Champions League this season.
Sundowns are pushing for the second star to be printed above their club crest after claiming the trophy in 2016. Adding to their burdensome history in the tournament, Downs were runner-up’s in Africa’s elite club competition on two occasions, namely in 2001 and 2025.
Miguel Cardoso’s charges will now face ES Tunis in the semi-finals of the Champions League, with the first leg set to commence on 12 April at Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi, while the return fixture will take place at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium on 18 April.
According to the Cameroonian great, Sundowns attacking talents have the ability to guide the reigning Betway Premiership champions to victory in Africa.
“I believe that we have a massive chance this season to win the Champions League,” Feutmba told Soccer Laduma.
“The quality we have, and like I’m saying, it’s up to the technical team to manage that group of players they have.
“That material they have is perfect, and the rest will follow. I was sitting and watching (them against Chippa United), Iqraam (Rayners) comes off, and who is coming on? Another quality striker (Brayan Leon), and you watch on top (grandstand), and who is sitting there?
“It is Peter Shalulile who is another quality striker. Then you understand the team you have”.
