With Liverpool, Mane won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup this year whilst being one of the Reds’ best players in their failed quest for a quadruple this season. Whist at International level, the 30-year-old won the African Nations Cup and helped Senegal qualify for the World Cup in November.

This continued on Saturday when Mane scored a hat-trick to lead his side to a 3-1 victory over Benin and the goals helped the forward leapfrog Henri Camara to become the highest-scoring player in Senegal football history.
If you thought the Liverpool man was stopping there, the forward has now scored a 98th-minute winning penalty against Rwanda to make it two wins out of two for the Lions of Teranga to start their qualification campaign for AFCON in 2023.
