A great dispute between players who marked the history of Merseyside together

By Charles Cornwall

Two of the biggest in recent years

During Jürgen Klopp's management of Liverpool, the team is going through a golden period, since the German coach has returned the Reds to the top of the world football elite. Since his team is distinguished by the excellent and defined style of play that his team carries out. So Klopp has marked a history of glory on Merseyside.

Therefore he has been able to coach great players during the 8 years that he has been at Anfield, highlighting players such as Virgil Van Dijk, Tretn Alexander Arnold, Alisson Becker, Sadio Mane, Daniel Sturridgel, Mohaemed Salah, Roberto Firmino or Andy Robertson. So it would be difficult to choose the best, but you can choose between one and the other.

Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino met in 2016 on Merseyside, after the Senegalese arrived at Liverpool from Southampton, while Firmino had already been there for 1 year when Sadio arrived. So Firmino had a longer stay of one year. Both players touched glory with Liverpool by winning the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020.

While the Brazilian Roberto Firmino lasted 8 years at Anfield, playing a total of 362 games, scoring 111 goals and giving 79 assists. While the Senegalese Mane lasted 6 years, since he arrived a year after Firmino and left a year before the Brazilian. Therefore, Sadio played a total of 269 games where he scored 120 goals and gave a total of 48 goals.

Mané and Firmino don't seem to have any problems with each other, but this is the best of the two

Although Firmino had a longer stay on Merseyside, Mané's numbers were better in terms of goals, since the Brazilian center forward played 93 more games than the Senegalese, despite this Mane scored nine more goals in fewer games. In terms of goal contributions, Firmino is better as he contributed a total of 190 goals, while Mane only contributed to 168. In addition to this, Mane's departure from Anfield was very poorly viewed by the Reds fans, who mostly saw The departure of Mane, who was leaving to receive a better salary in Germany, was seen as a betrayal. So Bob Firmino would have done things better during his stay on Merseyside.
