Tunisian giants Esperance secured their second successive CAFCL title in controversial circumstances on Friday night.
Moroccan side Wydad refused to continue proceedings with the aggregate scoreline at 2-1 in favour of Esperance, due the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) being unavailable to judge a disallowed equaliser.
After an hour of uncertainty and waiting, the referee blew the full-time whistle to hand Esperance their fourth CAFCL title overall.
CAF's president has since weighed in on the matter, suggesting that Wydad got the short end of the stick in the second leg of the final.
"If somebody did not see WAC's goal as legitimate, he then should change his hobby and to stop watching football," Ahmad told Moroccan sports news outlet Almountakhab.
"The goal was legitimate and the Video Assistant Referee is not necessary to prove that."
Ahmad also provided some clarity regarding the lack of VAR in the second leg.
"Everything has been unfair towards Wydad," he told HeSPORT.
"We have had an agreement with a company to supply VAR; however, they informed us they wouldn't be apply to provide it for technical reasons just before the game.
"I have no answers to give you. I am even so frightened after what happened."
