Liverpool star Sadio Mane scored his 15th goal of the Champions League knockout stages against Villarreal on Tuesday, breaking the record of the highest-scoring African in the competition. It was a record that was previously held by former Chelsea forward Didier Drogba, who had scored 14.
Mane’s goal helped book the Reds through to the Champions League final yet again, completing a dramatic turnaround to beat their Spanish opponents 3-2 on the night and 5-2 on aggregate. They are set to face the winner of Manchester City versus Real Madrid, where the score is 4-3 from the first leg.
If they go on and win it, Jurgen Klopp will earn the Merseyside club a seventh Champions League title, dethroning the Blues, who won it last season. Kai Havertz's solo goal against Manchester City saw them win the competition a second time.
