What happened to players who left Liverpool after Champions League finals as Sadio Mane sent warning

The Champions League final is arguably the biggest game in club football and for some players, it's the last time they represent their team before departing for a new challenge elsewhere.

As was the case for Sadio Mane this summer. The 30-year-old was about to enter the final year of his contract at Liverpool and the 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in Paris last month was the final time supporters would see the Senegalese play for the Reds.

With the eyes of the world watching, managers will always opt for their strongest XI in this game and Mane was a vital cog in Jurgen Klopp's system. His exit for Bayern Munich leaves huge shoes to fill for recent signings Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, but this isn't the first time Liverpool players have moved on after the major final.
