Sadio Mane sends message to Liverpool ahead of potential Champions League reunion

Bayern Munich striker Sadio Mane could come up against his former club Liverpool in the last-16 of the Champions League.

Munich topped Group C after winning all of their matches and could potentially be drawn against Jurgen Klopp's side, who finished second in in Group A.

Mane left Liverpool after a successful six years at the club in the summer to join Bayern and a reunion is something the Senegal star is not fazed by if it was to happen.

Ties for the last-16 will be confirmed in Monday's draw, but the Reds could be faced with taking on Bayern, Porto, Real Madrid or RB Leipzig, or Paris Saint-Germain or Benfica.

Mane was asked about the prospect of facing Liverpool in the next round after Munich beat Intern Milan 2-0 at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday night.

"Draw is draw, we will see on Monday," said Mane (via itstheicebird ). "But of course it would be a very special game for me."

Liverpool drew Bayern in the last-16 in 2019 and won 3-1 on aggregate before going on to win their sixth Champions League trophy.
