Bguir making it 2-0 as headed home from Sameh Derbali’s cross, nine minutes after the restart.
El-Shenawy had to be alert to keep out a dangerous effort that was bound for the back of the net with 12 minutes remaining on the clock, but he couldn't deny Badri, who blasted in a fierce shot in the 86th minute after a solo run from midfield.
Esperance won 3-0 on the day - 4-3 on aggregate - to lift their third Champions League title, with their last success coming in 2011 when they defeated last year’s victors Wydad Casablanca 1-0 on aggregate.
