“We are extremely happy to be playing in the final, which is of great importance to us, as we aim to win our first title of the season. We have high-calibre players in every position, I have strong confidence in my players to secure the victory and lift the trophy.

“I consider myself fortunate to be leading the team in just two matches, we are in a championship final and only one step away from winning a title. This opportunity is a gift for me and we must therefore make the most of it and win the championship because Al Rayyan are truly a great team and deserves to always be on the podium,” said Moreno.

Al Minhali said, “The match is like any other match of the season and Al Rayyan will play it with the sole aim of winning. All players have vowed to deliver a strong performance and focus at their best in order to achieve victory and win the championship cup, despite the pressure of the matches.

“The coach is constantly working on rotating the players and giving the opportunity to all the names on the roster in order to overcome the issue of the pressure of the matches being played so frequently. We are playing a match approximately every three days and, despite that, everyone is at the peak of their readiness for the match.”
