Sadio Mane admitted he struggled to talk about his charity work after being handed the Socrates Trophy for his efforts away from football.
The Bayern Munich star has forged a sensational career for himself in Europe, which has allowed him to make a difference in his native Senegal. The forward, who swapped Liverpool for Bavaria in the summer, has never been one to assume the limelight with his work often going under the radar.
Mane's wealth has allowed him to build a public hospital and fund schools and families in his home village of Bambali. He has also donated to the Senegalese National Committee as they looked to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. Such gestures have been recognised at the Ballon d'Or awards, but even then, Mane was not one to shout about it.
