Al Ahly coach Pitsu Mosimane looked forward to the challenge of taking on European champions Bayern Munich in the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup - declaring: "it would be nice to take them to penalties!" The Egyptian side and African champions defeated Al Duhail of Qatar 1-0 on Thursday to book their match against Bayern - and Mosimane said his side were "just out to have fun" against Lewandowski, Muller, Neuer and company on Monday. Education City Stadium, Al Rayyan, Qatar. 4th February, 2021. #FIFA #ClubWC #FIFAClubWorldCup 0:00 SOUNDBITE (English): Pitsu Mosimane, Al Ahly coach: (on the prospect of a FIFA Club World Cup semi-final against Bayern Munich) "Yeah, Bayern Munich, we should have fun I think. We have nothing to lose, everything to get. Imagine we win that match, our life will turn around. Very difficult match to win. Big team, the champions, they've won their cup, they've won their league, they've won the Champions League. What else they haven't won. OK we did the same in Africa, we won everything. The treble. But they are Bayern. Bayern has got pressure. They must beat us. We don't have pressure. We must have fun. Maybe frustrate them a little bit. And see how it goes. It would be nice to take them to penalties. So it will be 50-50." 0:51 SOUNDBITE (English): Pitsu Mosimane, Al Ahly coach: (on Bayern) "If that team can beat Barcelona with Lionel Messi on the pitch and they beat them 8-2, who are we?! So we are just here to have fun. So we did what we are supposed to .. tonight we are supposed to win, we have won the match. For Bayern? I don't know guys, what can you say? They've got all the great football players but you know how football is. Sometimes, football's got its own mysteries and you ask yourself what happened. These things do happen. You remember Leicester City won the league, the English Premier League. It might never happen again in our lifetime. But it has happened."
