Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic has recapped the 2018/19 Absa Premiership campaign after Orlando Pirates came just two points short of winning the league title.
Sundowns clinched the Absa Premiership title on the final day of the season this past weekend, with Pirates ending off as runners-up, booking their spot in the CAF Champions League competition next year.

Speaking to the media after the game, Coach Micho discussed what went wrong for Pirates this season and how they will look ahead for the new campaign.
"I need to give credit to the players as the producers of performances, given their best, they wanted to put a stamp today.
"From last year's 55, to this year's 57, we have stretched ourselves to our limits, tried out best in order to go all the way…
"But it didn't happen, there is a bitter taste inside that, especially knowing that we have lost only three matches.
"The biggest regret is that we had 12 draws and that is a bit too much for the standard of the league."
