Senegal: Gana Gueye drops a cryptic message

The crisis is total in Senegal after their elimination from the 2026 World Cup in the round of 32.

After a disappointing group stage, the Lions of Teranga thought they had turned things around in the round of 32 against Belgium, leading 2-0 in the 86th minute. But the Red Devils pulled off a stunning comeback to win 3-2 after extra time.

In recent hours, Idrissa Gana Gueye posted a message on his Instagram account that seems directed at Pape Thiaw's staff. "Alhamdoulillah, in all circumstances. Proud of you, guys! But now, let's talk. Since the end of the match, I can't find the words or understand what happened. Still, I have my own little idea... And you? Looks like this is how it will end... Give me a bit of time.", he wrote.
