Tunisia's Esperance were declared winners of the African Champions League by Caf on Wednesday following a long legal battle after Wydad Casablanca stormed off in protest during the second leg of the final in May.

Wydad "is considered to have lost the game", African football's governing body said in a statement. The Moroccan side walked off an hour into the return leg after a VAR malfunction meant a disallowed equaliser could not be reviewed.
