'The dream to win the Champions League is not an obsession,' says Sundowns coach Mokwena

It's been about seven years since Mamelodi Sundowns laid their hands on the Champions League trophy but coach Rulani Mokwena says their mission to reclaim it has not turned into an obsession.

Since they won the tournament in 2016, Sundowns have only made it to the semifinal stage once, in the 2018/2019 campaign, where they were eliminated by Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca.Last season they were stunned 3-2 on aggregate in the quarterfinal stage by Angolan side Petro Atlético and there is mounting pressure for the Brazilians to get to the semifinals or go all the way this season.

“Obsession comes from darker spaces where you could even capitulate if you don’t reach the target. But a dream is one that maybe you are allowed to do it again and again and eventually, as Sundowns, we will win the Champions League.“It might not happen this season, maybe it happens next season or the season after. But the performances and the work we put in every day must reflect the dream.
