However, the opponents are no pushovers, as Al Ahly are the most successful Egyptian club ever, and one of the most successful clubs on the African continent. They play attacking football, which will be hard for Hansi Flick to deal with without his starting midfield.
Bayern Munich put the finishing touches on one of the greatest seasons in their storied history last August, when Kingsley Coman scored the only goal against Paris St. Germain to wrap up the club’s second continental treble in seven years.
In Egypt, Cairo’s Al Ahly were equally as dominant as the Bavarian giants, winning a fifth straight league title, tacking on the Egypt Cup before adding a record ninth CAF Champions League crown and punching their ticket to the Club World Cup.
Although they are unbeaten in the new season, Al Ahly is actually sitting second in the Egyptian Premier League, although they do have a game in hand over first-place Zamalek, which is two points in front. Al Ahly have also drawn three of their last six games in the league – with all three featuring goalless scorelines – and got a solitary goal from Hussein El Shahat to get by Al-Duhail in the second round of the Club World Cup.
