Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has once again raised concerns about an individual leaking private videos of his team, just days before their CAF Champions League final first-leg clash against AS FAR.

The South African club had previously announced the suspension of performance analyst Mario Macha prior to their match against MC Alger. This followed Cardoso's complaint that his tactical plans were being leaked to the Algerian team's former coach, Rulani Mokwena. Cardoso has now returned to discuss a new leak concerning AS FAR, though he did not reveal specific details.

Following his team's dominant 7-4 victory over SuperSport in a local league fixture, the Portuguese coach stated: "I can tell you something that some might not accept, but the day after our match against Kaizer Chiefs, AS FAR obtained a wide-angle video of our game, and I am sure of it because someone saw it."

He further added: "We face many challenges, but we are strong enough to handle everything."

AS FAR are set to visit Mamelodi Sundowns on Friday, May 15, with kick-off scheduled for 17:00 GMT+1, for the first leg of the CAF Champions League final.
