I am African champion, whether you like it or not: Regragui finally speaks out on Senegal-Morocco and criticizes Pape Thiaw

Walid Regragui, former coach of Morocco, criticized Pape Thiaw, the former coach of Senegal, for encouraging his players to leave the field during the CAN 2025 final. Regragui considers himself the African champion, despite the CAF's decision declaring Morocco the winner on appeal. He also compared Thiaw's behavior to his own during the 2026 World Cup, where Senegal faced a penalty in the final minutes of a match against Belgium.
