Ivory Coast crowned its second African champion after beating Nigeria in the final. Max-Alain Gradel and Serge Aurier are the only two players on the Emerse Fae team to have already experienced this sensation.
“Two times African champion, that’s my name,” says Gradel. Aurier: “I am proud of this group because everything we did, we did it with the heart and today we are rewarded.” “If this is my last CAN? Let me savor that. You’re already looking for me there!”, replies Gradel with a laugh.
