Mamelodi Sundowns are once again the Premier Soccer League champions for the eighth time in a row.

MIGUEL CARDOSO ON MAMELODI SUNDOWNS’ RECORD

Following last weekend’s 2-0 win over Magesi, Kabo Yellow equalled the previous season’s record of 73 points in a single season.

“This season for sure will stay in history for a long time, it is not easy to repeat. This season, I think we eclipsed almost all records that are [there] and it is not me, it’s the guys that handle the ball,” Cardoso said at the post-match conference.

“I just lead, guide and help them to do it, but they put it in such a way that it is difficult because you cannot win more home matches than you have on the calendar. It’s difficult to collect more points than what we have and to score more goals than we have. I think it is difficult.

“But I’m happy because when you set standards, it means you went into a level that is difficult to achieve and that is the thing that I think that SA still doesn’t recognise.

“Maybe one day, Sundowns as a club, as a structure, the group of players that have been here last year and the coaches, myself included, have done a wonderful job.

“And that I feel it is not recognised at the level that it should be,” Cardoso concluded.
