And the inclusion of Billiat, Tau and Onyango in the Team of the Decade stems from the fact that they lifted the CAF Champions League and CAF Super Cup trophies with Sundowns in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

The trio were instrumental in Sundowns going all the way to lifting their first ever continental titles.
