Sadio Mane’s reaction to knocking Mohamed Salah’s Egypt out of the World Cup shows the incredibly close relationship between the pair.
That’s the view of their Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who insists it refutes once and for all the myth his two iconic strikers not only don’t get on, but are intense rivals who want to out-do each other.
Klopp says he was impressed and touched by Mane’s insistence he wouldn’t revel in beating the nation of his team-mate twice in the past month, as Senegal won the Africa Cup of Nations and then qualified for the World Cup finals.
