Last week, Sadio Mane played a crucial role in securing Senegal’s place in the 2022 World Cup finals after scoring the winning penalty in a decisive playoff shootout against Egypt. Senegal took the game to penalties after their 1-0 win on the night cancelled out Egypt’s victory by the same scoreline in the first leg.
Egypt captain and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah was one of four players to miss the first four penalties, inadvertently teeing up his teammate Mane to grab the headlines just like he did back in the AFCON final against Egypt back in February.
Mane will now be one of the stars representing his nation in Qatar at the end of the year, however, it remains to be seen whether he will be doing so still as a Liverpool player. Mane is still understandably considered to be one of the best forward players in the Premier League and he’s scored 14 goals across all competitions for the Reds so far this season, with still a quarter of the campaign to go.
