The Moroccan giants currently lead 2-1 on aggregate heading into the second leg on Sunday afternoon at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

The Wydad coach was very complimentary of his opposite number ahead of Sunday's clash and feels the game will be a great advert for the continent.

"About what he I see from Sundowns as a football team? I have much respect for Sundowns," Ramzi told reporters, as per Kick Off.

"I said also in Morocco that, for the first time, I feel that football is going to play against football, 100%.

"So, I love that because I also learnt football as a player and as a coach in Holland to play football.

"This is a compliment to the coach and Sundowns. He has a clear vision he wants to do it [play football].

"This is our project as coaches in Africa. In Casablanca, we saw that it was a big game, in terms of level, and I expect that the game of Sunday will also be a high level and the best team will win."

The Moroccans did eliminate Sundowns at the semi-final stage of the CAF Champions League last season, after securing a 2-2 draw in the second leg at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.
