Anfield Watch Verdict
Mane is a top player. The winger has found the back of the net 107 times and registered 44 assists in 244 appearances for Liverpool's first-team.
Therefore, we weren't surprised to see Mane stand up when it mattered most for his country.
We wish the 29-year-old all the best for the remainder of the tournament.
