The Morocco-Senegal final will mark the outcome of CAN 2025 on Sunday. The host country and the 2022 African champions qualified after effort and suspense. The Atlas Lions only escaped on penalties against Nigeria. The last opponent to beat to obtain the Grail title coveted since 1976, Senegal, defeated Egypt 1-0 thanks to a goal from Sadio Mané.
