The former Indomitable Lions forward admits none of the squad members for the Sydney games knew they will win a medal
Patrick Mboma has revealed none of the players in the Cameroon squad for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney was certain they will return home with the trophy.
The Indomitable Lions shocked many on September 30, 2000, when they overpowered Spain 5-3 on penalties after coming from two goals down to force a 2-2 draw in normal time and clinch the nation’s first-ever gold at the Olympic Games in Austria.
Cameroon had beaten Chile 2-1 in the semi-finals to set up the final with Spain.
