Mamelodi Sundowns have filed a complaint with CAF against Zamalek in protest over the training ground assigned for the visitors ahead of both side's Champions League final return-leg in Alexandria's Borg El-Arab Stadium on Sunday.

The South Africans head into the second leg with a comfortable 3-0 lead in Pretoria, with the Zamalek fans hopeful of overturning the deficit to claim their first Champions League title since 2002.

Things, however, did not go smooth with Sundowns just a few days ahead of the second-leg, lodging a complaint with the African football governing body against Zamalek who refused to assign the visiting side another training pitch, Ahram Sport reported.

Sundowns have yet to win a Champions League title in their history, while Zamalek have five titles under their belt.
