Senegal, who won the Africa Cup of Nations title in a controversial final against hosts Morocco in January, only to be stripped of their victory weeks later, paraded the trophy ahead of a friendly on Saturday against Peru at the Stade de France in Paris. Senegal captain Kalidou Coulibaly and his teammates came out onto the pitch with the AFCON trophy for a lap of honour after a pre-match concert by Senegalese superstar Youssou Ndour.
