South Africa have not had a player feature in the UEFA Champions League in over two seasons, but Gift Links and his AGF Aarhus side are looking to change that.
Links has been a pivotal part of AGF's European push this season.

Deployed in an unfamiliar left wingback position, the 24-year-old has managed to command a regular spot in coach Uwe Rösler's side.
Since returning from suspension late last year, Links has been one of AGF's most consistent performers and now he is looking to add Champions League football to his bright form.
Aarhus finished in the top six on the Danish Superliga standings and as a result, have gone into a play-off round where they stand a chance of being crowned Superliga champions and could earn a spot in the Champions League second qualifying round.
He has featured in the Danish outfit's last six matches and has provided two assists in the process.
Having missed out on the most recent Bafana Bafana squads, Links' performances as a wingback could give coach Hugo Broos something to think about as he continues to shine in Europe.
Aarhus have a chance to collect their first three points in the play-offs on Monday evening when they take on Randers who are three points behind them on the current standings.
