Algeria Football– The draw for the quarter-finals of the African Champions League could offer a promising match between Mouloudia Club of Algiers (MCA) and Espérance Sportive de Tunis (EST), where Youcef Belaïli is currently playing. This potential duel would mark an emotional return for Belaïli against his former club, which he left several years ago after leaving an indelible mark there.
Mouloudia of Algiers, who qualified for this decisive phase of the competition, could meet one of the following opponents: Orlando Pirates (South Africa), Esperance of Tunis (Tunisia) or Mamelodi Sundowns ( South Africa), even the Moroccans of AS FAR Rabat. The draw should determine the fate of the clubs in the days to come, but MCA supporters are already preparing for a possible shock against Belaïli and his teammates.
A duel between past and present
If MCA meets EST in the quarter-finals, it will be a unique opportunity for Youcef Belaïli to return to the legendary 5 Juillet stadium, where the Algiers team will play its first leg, scheduled for March 29 or 30. Belaïli, who had been an emblematic figure of Mouloudia in the past, will undoubtedly be the center of all attention. The return match, meanwhile, will take place away on April 6 or 7, in an atmosphere that promises to be just as electric.
For MCA supporters, this potential clash is of particular importance. Mouloudia will seek to impose its superiority at home in order to approach the trip with an advantage. However, the EST, with its continental experience and renowned players like Belaïli, remains a formidable opponent.
A crucial step for Algerian football
A possible duel between these two giants of African football would also be an opportunity to measure the level of Algerian clubs against teams accustomed to continental competitions. The MCA will have to mobilize all its assets to overcome this obstacle, while Belaïli, for his part, could have the opportunity to shine against his former teammates.
-This possible clash would add an emotional and historical dimension to this edition of the Champions League, promising memorable moments for African football fans.
