Days after Real Madrid links, Sadio Mane showed the world why exactly he’s rated so highly by the Los Blancos.
The Senegalese produced one of the most memorable performances in Europe for the Reds as they brushed aside a poor Bayern Munich side, 3-1.
After the 0-0 draw at Anfield, Bayern were touted as favourites to go through at the Allainz Arena but Jurgen Klopp’s men had other ideas.
Sadio Mane opened the scoring for the Reds in the 26th minute after a fantastic bit of footwork to take Manuel Neuer out the game.
The former Southampton man didn’t just stop there as sealed the victory for the Reds in the 84th minute.
Mane headed home a fantastic Mo Salah cross to finish off the German Champions.
Mane’s fabulous performance on the night earned him a deserved man of the match award and the Senegalese has been nominated for the player of the week award alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
Here’s how fans from across the globe reacted to mane’s performance last night:
