The victory means that the capital club's number 49, who came on as a substitute during the match, has helped his country win its second title after 2021. He has become the fifth player in history to win AFCON as a Paris Saint-Germain player after Selim Benachour with Tunisia in 2004, Serge Aurier with Ivory Coast in 2015, and his compatriots Abdou Diallo and Idrissa Gueye with the Lions of Teranga in 2021.
