● Côte d'Ivoire are unbeaten in their three games at this year’s Africa Cup of Nations (W2 D1), while the last time they avoided defeat in their opening four games in a single edition of the tournament was in 2015 when they went on to win it (beating Ghana on penalties in the final).

He may be a world-class star who has won the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, but Mohamed Salah has only one trophy in mind and heart: the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations.
“I lost it in Gabon 2017 against Cameroon in the final, but I can assure you that it is the trophy that I want to win most. I work to win it and that is the story with all the Egyptian players present here, Salah said

“AFCON is an extremely difficult competition and from the start, you have seen that even the best teams are struggling to win,” recalled the Liverpool striker.

Egypt, with its seven trophies, is there to win the 2021 edition of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations, but that requires a big performance on Wednesday against Côte d'Ivoire.
