Caf Champions League: Why North African teams dominate - Samatta and AjayiThe ex-TP Mazembe star, who spent this season on loan at Antwerp from Fenerbahce, and the ex-Al Ahly player, discuss the success of dominant clubsTanzania skipper Mbwana Samatta has discussed why he thinks North African clubs have been successful in the Caf Champions League. On his part, Nigeria’s Junior Ajayi shared his opinion on why the north has been dominant. Ajayi won the Champions League title in 2020 with Al Ahly when they faced local rivals Zamalek and has revisited how the experience felt for him. "I didn't realise the magnitude until I reached the final and won the competition," he explained. "It's very natural that someone is very proud when they win a championship, and winning the African Champions League is a great achievement for African players."
