Coach Pitso Mosimane has reacted to the 2016 champions Mamelodi Sundowns’ group for the Caf Champions League.

The draw for the group stages of Africa’s premium competition concluded on Wednesday evening and saw the Chloorkop-outfit join defending champions Wydad Athletic Club (Morocco), Horoya AC (Guinea) and AS Togo Port de Lome (Togo) in pool C.

Speaking to Caf Online the Downs boss reacted positively to the draw.

‘It is a fair draw. You can’t ask for less, you can’t ask for more. It is the top 16 and you take whatever comes.’

The South African tactician also highlighted the importance of their clash with last year’s winners Wydad.

‘With regards to Wydad, both us are not sure of each other. We beat them at home [1-0] and they also beat us [1-0], and they won on penalties and went on to win the title. Both teams want to know who is better. They [Wydad] are the current champions and we have also won it before [2016], and it will be interesting to play them.’

‘Horoya plays good football with great passing technique. They are a good team, tactical and have some good individual players. The team we don’t know much is AS Port, and we will have to conduct research on them,’ concluded Mosimane.
