Despite the cancellation of the African champion title following the final victory against Morocco (1-0 after extra time), Pape Gueye does not accept the decision. The Villarreal midfielder, who scored that night, insists that Senegal remains the true winner on the pitch.
No way! Pape Gueye refuses to hand back his Africa Cup of Nations medal after the annulment of Senegal’s victory. The 27-year-old fully stands by the position of the Lions of Teranga and relies on the sporting result to defend this disputed title.
Gueye Stands Firm on Senegal’s Victory
“Yes, of course, because we are simply the champions of Africa. We managed to win that final on the pitch, the whole world saw it… And the medals are with us,” said the former Marseille player in an interview with L’Équipe.
“I’m not ready to give back my medal. The whole world knows very well that the cup was won by Senegal.” It’s hard to imagine AFCON officials showing up at Pape Gueye’s home to retrieve it.
