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.
