It was an evening of celebration in Rades capped by Saad Bguirโs brace to ensure Esperance won the Caf Champions League title for the third time after defeating Al Ahly 4-3 on aggregate.
The Tunisians had bowed 3-1 in a tensed first leg, however, Mouine Chaabaniโs men bounced back from the two-goal deficit to beat the Egyptians to the title.
And after Bamlak Weyesaโs full-time whistle sounded around Stade Olympique de Rades and it sunk in that Esperance had won, the world took to social media platform to congratulate the Tunisians.
Deservedly Deserved ๐ @ESTunis_Tweets well done #YesWeCan#TotalCAFCLFinal #ESTASC

Congrat to Esperance. They made this a special project 3 years ago, to win the #CAFCL this year, to mark their 100 year anniversary in Jan 2019. Broke bank to retain key players in the face of juicy offers for Anice Badri & TY Khenissi

Years of planning paid off brilliantly.
Thrilled for Esperance especially after the horrible officiating in the first leg.
