In an interview with the Post United podcast, Keita Baldé Diao touched on several hot topics, including Senegal’s victory in the 2025 AFCON final. The Senegalese forward also shared his thoughts on Morocco’s complaints to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following that match.
Invited back by Post United just days after the final, the AC Monza player answered numerous questions from the hosts. This second appearance followed his first in June 2025, which had already sparked strong reactions on social media. During this exchange, Keita Baldé expressed his views on the Moroccan sports authorities’ protests, who criticized certain refereeing decisions after Morocco’s 1-0 defeat.
For the Senegal international, these reactions stem from the frustration of losing. “It’s normal after a defeat. We focus on this or that situation. But if Brian had scored the penalty and they had won, would they have written to the Federation about the 10 minutes of stoppage time? What do you think?” he asked.
Keita Baldé believes these protests are mainly tied to the match result. “When we lose, we nitpick. But I think if Brahim had scored the penalty, Morocco wouldn’t have issued a statement or written to CAF about those 10 minutes of stoppage time,” he added.
