In a post-match press conference, Mosimane, now 56, was reduced to tears as he revealed an earlier occasion when he was still Mamelodi Sundowns coach.
“I remember the first time I came here with Mamelodi Sundowns to play against SuperSport United, I was emotional little bit emotional because I spent seven years at SuperSport United but we’re professionals and this is a game of football.
“But I was little bit emotional only when I saw the placards outside and they stop the bus and all these people swearing at me, swearing at my mother.
“I said to myself, what else I should have done for this team to get the respect? But it’s football I understand and I know the person who did that. And I know the person who is behind that.
“Just bitter because I left, I had to move on with my life, there’s more, I don’t want to talk, the things that I’ve received before my match from South Africa, if I show you my phone, correspondence I’ve received, emails I’ve received, they just don’t let me go,” Pitso Mosimane revealed.
As a reminder, Mamelodi Sundowns won no fewer than TEN trophies under his guidance.
Al Ahly will face one of Esperance Tunis or CR Belouizdad in the semi-finals as the Egyptians giants look to defend their title.
