What a great story this is about Sadio buying 300 football shirts for his home village. Great guy.

that is so cool. Such a nice thing to do for the kids in his home especially!

He just seems like a lovely guy, like a lot of the players on this team really

By all accounts, the team spirit/morale is something special. I think that’s why, or because, Klopp has the attitude that if someone wants to leave (eg Coutinho) then they should leave. We’ve all been at jobs where someone who wants to move is talking about the potential move or seems distant. Cut that out and you solve a few problems, even if they’re a sublime footballer like Coutinho.

Bobby has always been my fave, but Sadio seems like such a lovely guy love the constant smile he has on his face, must be a great person to have in the squad overall.

he always seems very humble too, and also sort of shy at times. But yeah, him and Gini with their smiles, lovely

yeah, the bond is very important for sure in his teams. The new players seem to settle so quickly these days too.

Sadio just looks like he loves football and being able to play football for a living. It was great to see his bro in the away end at Roma.

Great gesture

[Peabee]

Great gesture

Not really. It was a massive troll, they’re all Everton fans.

[BabuYagu]

I wrote the shit out of Sadio Mane's preview. Click here to see radars, gifs of celebration thievery and more.

[CraigDS]

You know Mane isn't from Wales, right?

[Oscarmac]

Not a betting man, but I think he would be the value bet to score  tonight.

[Zlen]

While Bobby and Mo have been the centre of attention, Sadio has quietly played himself into some wicked form and is now very comfortaby operating wide, deeper to the middle, while remaining devastating on quick counters. I think he will have a great game tonight. Wouldn’t say he’s a secret weapon, but he definitely packs more punch then Real might think.

[Wilmo]

Not a betting man, but I think he would be the value bet to score  tonight.

Same here, think he'll play a vital part. Wouldn't be surprised if he got a couple.

[jillcwhomever]

If its true that Madrid will have a plan for Salah, then the game will open up for Mane. Either way, I think he will play a crucial part in the game tonight.

[TepidT2O]

If its true that Madrid will have a plan for Salah, then the game will open up for Mane. Either way, I think he will play a crucial part in the game tonight.

Agreed...

Push Salah central, push Mane up and drop Bobby back a bit..

[gerrardisgod]

Been backing him 2+ for the past few months. Tonight's the night it comes in.

[jooneyisdagod]

So not just me that's been thinking that Mane might get a few goals. I'm for some reason, very calm btw. It's unnerving me.

[[new username under construction]]

Gonna cause chaos

[farawayred]

Need more chaos from him.

Mané became only the fourth player since the European Cup rebranded (or perhaps since the second group stage was scrapped, not sure) to score in all five knock-out rounds this season.

Messi, Ronaldo and Diego Milito were the others in 2010-11, 2013-14 and 2009-10 respectively. If anyone deserved a winners' medal, it's Sadio

are there not only 4 knock out rounds?

last 16, qf, sf and final?

[LallanaInPyjamas]

You're right, but this is what I saw it from:



Must be including the group stage.

[Crosby Nick]

He scored in 5 separate matches in the knockout stages if that’s what they mean?

Or maybe the 4 knock out rounds plus in the qualifier v Hoffenheim which was also a knock out game. Good company to be in, whatever it means!

[RyanBabel19]

Yeah looks like its including group stage as a round

[paulrazor]

You're right, but this is what I saw it from:

well they are wrong. the group stage isnt knockout!

anyway he did good! both on saturday and over the course of the champions league

very mature player too. i am sure there was at least 3 matches where players surrounded him trying to get him to react so he would be sent off

hoffenheim shouldnt count, but he didnt score in either game anyway

[Living Legends]

With the additions we have already made, I think it will elevate him to even greater heights.

Cracking player.

It doesn't actually say knockout on it anywhere to be fair so it isn't wrong

[Crosby Nick]

Minor details.

[paulrazor]

haha to be fair that pic didnt load for me on my work pc. initial post said "5 knock out rounds" though

[clinical]

Bar Roma at home. I thought he was our best player last 2 months.

[MD1990]

He was. Best attacking player in the final.

Bale great goal but Mane was brillant.

[jillcwhomever]

I thought this was an interesting little article on Sadio's early days.

hard to imagine him being shy!!

[jillcwhomever]

hard to imagine him being shy!!

Strangely enough, it didn't surprise me. He talks really quietly when he's interviewed. He is clearly a lively character though, and usually always smiling. But I guess it needs to be remembered that these African kids can travel hundreds of miles just to get a game of football, when they're young.

Thanks enjoyed that, one of my fave players he has great little qualities and a touch of the unexpected as well. 

[RyanBabel19]

Sadio seems incredibly shy, if you watch the Liverpool carpool video he's in with Gini and Can you can see it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fumMlJCsAAs

There was another video of him I saw as well and he seems to like keeping himself to himself

I'd forgotten about that, nice one. Yes, he seems really quiet and awkward in that, revelling in Gini's and Emre's behaviour though. Loved those carpool ones, the one with Sturridge, Alex, Clynny and Joe was quality.

[redk84]

Can't wait to watch him in the world cup.....of all our lads I think he'll have the most impact (hopefully Firmino too)
