Mali skipper Mahamadou Diarra leads his team into the quarter-finals of the African Nations Cup against Guinea here on Saturday claiming that his team fears nobody.
"We know Guinea very well. We beat them in a friendly last year, so we have no fears of them," said Diarra.
"In fact, we fear no team. The so-called experts all had their favourites at the start of the tournament but we knew we were coming here to win and we have never doubted our ability."
Mali, who were semi-finalists on home soil two years ago, made the last eight here as Group B winners and if they beat Guinea on Saturday would then face either Morocco or Algeria for a place in the February 14 final.
