Finidi George Reflects on Rivers United's CAF Defeat

Finidi George, the coach of Rivers United, expressed his disappointment following the team's 3-0 defeat to Moroccan side RS Berkane in the CAF Champions League. This loss was significant as it marked the first time a club finished the group stage campaign without a win, recording one draw and five defeats across six matches.
George admitted that RS Berkane was the better side, dominating the game and creating more chances, particularly in the second half. In his post-match interview, he congratulated RS Berkane and acknowledged that his team struggled to perform at the tournament.
He emphasized the need for Rivers United to learn from this experience and expressed optimism about performing better in the qualification for next year's competition, stating that they would come back stronger.
