Al-Shennawi added: “We thank the Moroccan public for the wonderful support. We wished success to Wydad (the Moroccan who was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Al-Hilal Saudi Arabia), but now we are with Al-Hilal Saudi Arabia representing Arab football in this tournament, and we hope that support will continue for us against Real Madrid.” “.

And the Egyptian international goalkeeper continued: “Certainly, I am happy that Al-Ahly is the most team that reaches the semi-finals of the championship (five times), but our luck in this role always puts us in front of great teams such as Real Madrid, but we have a great focus to overcome what we achieved from third place and the bronze medal on three occasions.” And we have great ambition to reach the final in the Club World Cup this time.”
