Sadio Mane believes his Africa Cup of Nations triumph with Senegal trumps any of the trophies he won while at Liverpool.
Mane scored the winning penalty in the shoot-out to give Senegal a narrow win over Egypt in Africa’s top competition back in February. It was the first time Senegal had won AFCON after two defeats in previous finals and came on home soil, making it even more special.
The victory cemented Mane’s status as a national hero and stands out for him as the best moment of his career – ahead of the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup or League Cup that he won with Liverpool.
