But Toney says Al-Ahli feel like second class citizens over their preparations.

The ex-Brentford striker said: "To be honest, the preparation and how we've been treated is crazy.

"We've been on the worst pitch, and trained after other teams. We've been the most hated, the team nobody wants to win; it gives us that extra hunger and fight to win something against these teams.

"You saw in the semi-final: we had no remorse, we wanted to score more and more, and we did."

Toney added: "Hopefully, we can take that energy and fire inside us to win tomorrow.

"It shows who we are; it's not been the best  but we get on with it and have the fight on the pitch."
