Mané has his favourite for Liverpool-Real VARdrid clash, Klopp cannot believe it

Although the odds on a Bayern Munich-Liverpool clash were 40 per cent and rising when Benfica's clash with Brugge was confirmed, it did not materialise as Real Madrid emerged as the English side's opponents, causing some relief for Bavarians striker Sadio Mané, who can at least rest easy that he will not be facing his former side.

After the confirmation of the Real Madrid vs Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich clashes, the Senegalese international striker obviously has a clear path to decide who will be his favourites to advance to the quarter-finals, supporting firstly the German team and not far behind are the Reds, an institution he has not been able to forget according to statements made by the player himself a few weeks ago.

Both the Parisian, Spanish, English and German teams know that their rival is a constant danger that could leave them out of the competition in the 180 minutes of play, and Klopp and his men must concentrate on the strategies to beat Real Madrid, and on the other hand, Mané must continue in his constant attempt to return to his best footballing version to achieve his goal against PSG and now he can dream of a duel against his former institution.

Despite being already separated and with completely different objectives at least in each local tournament, it is surprising to see the affection and respect that the Senegalese international still has for Liverpool, leaving Jurgen Klopp speechless, who without saying much, is still very happy with the departure of his former striker, although in recent matches the level shown by Darwin Núñez has made Mané take a back seat, and the German coach is happy with the performance of his Charrúa reinforcement.

Mané wants Liverpool to advance

The clash between the Reds and the Bavarians in a more complicated Champions League fixture would be a spectacular game, and especially for the Reds fans who would see Sadio Mané return to what until not so long ago he called home, as the last time he had played for Southampton F. C. in the 2015-2016 season.
