Nigerian Ahmed Musa and Ivorian Max-Alain Gradel will play a key role with their teammates to help their team win the final. In 2013, Musa won the CAN with Nigeria.
More than 10 years later, he had the opportunity with Kenneth Omeruo to achieve the double with the Super Eagles. Gradel has the same ambition with Ivory Coast after being crowned with the Elephants in 2015 with teammate Serge Aurier. Two captains, two different journeys in this CAN, but who certainly have the same impact on their teammates.
