In addition to Roberto Firmino, Senegal international and former Liverpool player Sadio Mané knew what it meant to score a goal against Manchester City, especially as the rivalry between the two sides has grown in recent years, and the Bayern Munich player said he was happy with what his former teammates achieved yesterday against the runners-up in the English competition.
Even though the striker is indebted to the Bavarian team, he cannot hide the great feeling he still has for the Merseyside institution, because although his concentration is entirely on the German squad looking to improve in the Bundesliga, he takes his time to learn about what is happening in England and more about a match of such importance, arguing that despite not being able to watch the game as he was on a bus, he was happy to see the final result which was 1-0 in favour of the Reds. "I'm very happy for the boys who beat City. I couldn't watch because we were on the bus."
Klopp still out of control, again criticising refereeing during Manchester City win
Guardiola never wants to return to Anfield, reveals embarrassing moment against Liverpool
Sadio Mané is well aware of what his former team-mates are capable of and of the incredible qualities that Jurgen Klopp also has, and he has no doubt that Liverpool will be able to turn their negative situation around and lift themselves to the top of the competition, a situation somewhat similar to what he experienced with Bayern earlier this season. "I have a lot of faith in the lads and the coach that they will get back to the top".
The Senegalese's comments, which were published by The Anfield Talk account, quickly resonated with Reds fans, who were happy to know that their legend has not yet forgotten the team by still being there for them, showing that at least the fans are still saddened by the departure of the player who gave them so much joy in his six years on Merseyside.
The Senegal international has struggled mightily since leaving Anfield in the summer transfer window, with his goal-scoring form dropping considerably since his arrival at the German club. Although Liverpool and Mané miss each other, the African striker will have to keep fighting to be that replacement for Robert Lewandowski, while the Reds will have to keep looking to Darwin Núñez for those qualities that will make the Senegalese forget the Senegalese.
