He revealed that the team was motivated ahead of their first continental final and hoped to become history-makers.

"For me, the Pyramids experience is very important," Adel revealed.

"We're creating our own motivation at this stage, despite the many challenges that don’t make it easy for us. But we have big names and players capable of handling the responsibility."

He added: "We hope to achieve something this year and bring joy to the people who love us sincerely, even if they’re few. God willing, we’ll be the first to make history for the club."

On a personal note, Adel wants to win this year's Champions League but he also carries ambitions of playing abroad and competing for the Ballon D'Or.
