Sadio Mane's classy gesture as he ignored Liverpool celebrations to console Edouard Mendy

Sadio Mane showed his class to console compatriot Edouard Mendy as Liverpool came out on top against Chelsea in the FA Cup final.

Kostas Tsimikas was the hero as the Reds claimed a penalty shootout victory to lift the trophy, a repeat of the outcome in the Carabao Cup final in February. Mane had a chance to win it just before that, but his international teammate Mendy outfoxed the Senegalese winger to deny him from the spot.

It turned out the Chelsea keeper only delayed the inevitable, however, as Tsimikas saved Mane's blushes by stepping up and scoring the winning spot-kick shortly after. Mane, who has a reputation for being one of the good guys in football, didn't forget about his Senegal teammate as he consoled Mendy immediately after the shootout.
