Since moving to Liverpool in the summer of 2016, Sadio Mane made a name for himself as one of the most explosive attackers in the Premier League but the in the 2018-19 season, his gameplay elevated to another level altogether. Alongside Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, Mane is part of one of the most terrorizing trios in world football and the Senegalese international was at the top of his game for Liverpool last season, as the Reds registered a rrecord-breakingtally of 97 points in the Premier League and won the Champions League.

With 21 goals to his name, Mane shared the Golden Boot with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and teammate Salah last season and has carried on from where he left off. Jurgen Klopp's side have opened up a 10 point lead in the Premier League summit with a game in hand and Mane has played a pivotal role in their push for the title this season, with 14 goals and 11 assist in all competitions this season.

In the 2019 edition of the Ballon d'Or, the 27-year-old was voted as the 4th best player in the world behind Lionel Messi, Virgil van Dijk and Cristiano Ronaldo, a sensational achievement for someone who was plying his trade with Southampton in 2016.
