Sadio Mane enjoyed his best season on a personal level as well as a collective level. The Senegalese international lifted the UEFA Champions League with Liverpool after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the finals.

Mane was quite vital for Liverpool's success last campaign. He scored 22 goals in the Premier League last campaign and shared the Premier league Golden Boot with Salah and Aubameyang. The Liverpool forward also scored four goals in the Champions League last season.

Mane has been in red hot form this season as well. The 27-year-old has scored nine goals and assisted four in the Premier League already. The Senegalese also led his national side to the AFCON finals as well but could not get past Algeria in the finals.

His impressive displays over the year saw him finishing 4th in the Ballon d'Or rankings, coming in behind his compatriot Virgil van Dijk, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
