We simply have to talk about this?
Unless you were living under a rock in January, or don't actually enjoy football (soccer) that much, you will know the chaos that Senegal were involved in back in January.
It was the Africa Cup of Nations final, and Senegal beat Morocco in one of the most mental matches we have ever witnessed in this sport.
Senegal walked off the pitch for 17 minutes after Morocco were given a stoppage-time penalty. When they returned, Brahim Diaz missed a panenka, and The Lions went on to win the tournament in stoppage time.
However, in the months that have passed since, Senegal have been stripped of the title, and Morocco were declared the winners.
Not that Senegal recognise that decision... and they have appealed it.
