Billiat, 30, was part of the Mamelodi Sundowns squad that won the 2016 edition of the continental showpiece and despite his injury-hit season, he played a crucial role in Chiefs' journey this season.
The Zimbabwe international scored a crucial late goal in their final Group C outing against Horoya that dumped the Guinea Ligue 1 champions out the competition and he admits it's been an incredible rollercoaster of a season.
"It's a blessing to be where we are right now, the team has done well in a way of all the difficulties we went through during the [league] season to be able to focus for Champions League," Billiat told the club's media department.
"The guys really did well to be where we are right now, it's a great experience and it's a blessing to be part of the team at the moment, it's a lifetime experience that any other player would want to be in the [same] situation.
"It requires a lot of hard work and to be mentally strong knowing that it's no longer domestic, we meet the best of Africa and competing for a big trophy you know. I would say give credit to everyone who's been part of this journey."
The mercurial forward who recently recovered from a fractured leg has travelled with the Amakhosi squad to Casablanca but it remains unclear whether he'll be fit enough to start, having only recently returned to training.
But ahead of the trip, he revealed that he's happy to still be at the Soweto giants and remains confident they can pull of one final upset and earn the club's first star against his former manager Pitso Mosimane.
"The supporters have been with us through the hard times and right now we're in the final, we're 90 minutes plus from the biggest trophy that any other club in Africa would want to have," Billiat said.
"We're still down to earth, maintaining professionalism, we want to do the best the coach wants us to do from training knowing very well we'll work on one or two things that could make a difference during the game and it's looking good.
"You wouldn't see this coming but to be part of where we are now, in the final again. I'm in the right place at the right time and surrounded by the right people and right management, I'm at the right club.
"I've had this journey before and I know how difficult it is, I know how great the feeling can be at the end, so it's a movie that has happened before, so I'm glad to be where I am right now and looking forward to going all the way with the team and have great memories with this great club I'm at.
"It [the journey] was great, I want to give credit to everyone, it's memories that we'll show our kids and we want to perfect it in the final and make sure we stick to the plan the coach is showing us at training and we believe that plan is going to give us the great result."
