The decision by the CAF Appeal Board continues to send shockwaves through African football. The governing body has stripped Senegal of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title, awarding a 3-0 default victory in the final to Morocco instead. This controversial ruling comes despite Senegal's on-field victory after extra time (1-0).
The case, which emerged weeks after the match, has sparked a wave of reactions ranging from confusion and outrage... to outright humor. Several football figures have not hidden their astonishment at this unexpected reversal.
Ousmane Dembélé is a prime example. Following a UEFA Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea FC, the French international was seen deep in conversation with his compatriot Wesley Fofana on the Stamford Bridge pitch.
In footage broadcast by Canal+, Dembélé, visibly amused, delivered a line that quickly went viral on social media: 'For this kind of madness, only AFCON, brother.' The ironic remark prompted laughter from both players.
This reaction perfectly captures the mix of surprise and disbelief sparked by the decision, which is now at the center of all discussions in the global football landscape.
