“We are delighted with the qualification for the final. Al Ahly are the Bayern Munich of Egypt, and they are a big team with a wonderful fanbase,” Müller said.

“It’s great to reach the final and our biggest goal is to win the sextuple.

“We were the better side and should have scored the second goal earlier, but in the end, we deserved to win, and Al Ahly were an excellent opponent,” he added.

In addition, Al Ahly will face Palmeiras for the third-place game while Bayern Munich will be looking for the trophy against Tigres. Both games will be played on February 13.
