The South African champions confirmed their arrival through social media, reassuring supporters that the squad had successfully travelled from Johannesburg and were now focused on final preparations for Sunday’s decisive showdown in Rabat.
The temporary logistical uncertainty had briefly raised concerns around Sundowns’ build-up to one of the most important matches in the club’s recent history.
However, the Brazilians have now shifted their attention fully toward completing their continental mission on the pitch.
Sundowns travel to Rabat carrying a slender but potentially decisive 1-0 advantage from the first leg played in Pretoria.
That narrow lead leaves the South African side in a strong but delicate position heading into what is expected to be a tense encounter against an AS FAR team determined to mount a comeback in front of a passionate home crowd.
For Sundowns, the final represents a major opportunity to reclaim African club football’s biggest prize for the first time since their 2016 triumph.
This current generation has long been viewed as capable of restoring the club to the summit of continental football, adding extra significance to Sunday’s clash.
AS FAR, meanwhile, will draw confidence from their strong home record and the intense atmosphere expected inside the stadium.
The Moroccan side are likely to apply early pressure as they attempt to overturn the deficit and capture continental glory in front of their supporters.
For the visitors, discipline, composure and intelligent game management are expected to be critical factors.
Protecting their first-leg advantage while remaining dangerous in transition could ultimately determine whether Sundowns complete the job in Rabat.
With history, pride and the CAF Champions League trophy all on the line, anticipation continues to build ahead of what promises to be a dramatic night in African football.
