Al Ahli Stars Ignite Debate: Asian Final Greater than Europe

The statements from Al-Ahli stars sparked widespread interaction after the trio, Edouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez, and coach Matthias Jaissle, spoke about the exceptional atmosphere the team experiences with its fans in Jeddah.

Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy affirmed that the night of the AFC Champions League final with Al-Ahli was one of the greatest football nights of his life, and he even considered it more important to him than the night of winning the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea.

Mendy said in his statements: "The night of the AFC Champions League final in Jeddah was one of the greatest nights I've experienced, and I would choose it over the UEFA Champions League final with Chelsea."

He added, "Yes, that night in Jeddah was the most important for me."

For his part, Algerian star Riyad Mahrez spoke about the level of fan pressure within Al-Ahli, confirming that the pressure at the Saudi club exceeds what he experienced during his time with Manchester City.

The German coach Matthias Jaissle praised the atmosphere created by Al-Ahli's fans, stating that the sound of the fans at times surpasses even the stands of Allianz Arena, the home of Bayern Munich.

Yaesleh said: "There are moments when the sound of the Al Ahly fans is louder than even the Allianz Arena... They provide us with real magic."

These statements reflect the significant impact of Al-Ahly's fans on the team's stars, especially after the historic atmosphere the club experienced during its recent continental participations, which brought Al-Ahly back to the forefront of Asian football with strength.
