The Buccaneers drew the first leg at Orlando Stadium 1-1 and went down 1-0 to the North Africans in Tunisia.
Following all Bucs' hard work in getting to the final, 'Festival' has made his disappointment at the Buccaneers' failure to overcome the final hurdle and lift the continental trophy known.
"To be honest, we are really disappointed because the game was there for the taking. It was one of our worst performances in this campaign and even Etoile were not any good," the defender told Soccer Laduma.
"We played and beat far better teams to reach the final and that's what hurts me the most. Luck was just not on our side.
"Some of the goals we have been conceding are just demoralising as they don't even create the goals, but then score out of nowhere. And we need to work hard to score every chance we create."
