Talking to the media at Chloorkop ahead of the game, Sundowns defender Divine Lunga reflected on last season’s “heartbreak,” adding that this season they will be prepared for anything.

“I think the main focus now is on the Champions League because of how we are approaching the game on Sunday.

“Last season, it was so painful to end our final like that. But I think that this season we are prepared for anything. We are going to go all out and bring our A game,” Lunga told the media.

The Zimbabwean-born defender further stated that losing to TS Galaxy in the Betway Premiership on Tuesday is part of the game.

“Losing is part of football, but after the match, the coach spoke to us to pick ourselves up. I think the boys are in a good mood because I understand that in football, we win, we lose, we draw. But I think that we are going to do our best,” Lunga observed.
