5 Liverpool players Real Madrid must be wary of

#3 Sadio Mane

A.S. Roma v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Semi Final Second Leg — The attacker will cause Real Madrid problems on the left flank

When it comes to listing Liverpool players that can cause major upsets in big games, the Senegalese forward, Sadio Mane cannot be left out.

The attacker has bagged an incredible 9 goals and 1 assist in the UEFA Champions League this term, consistently producing remarkable efforts in the European tournament during the campaign.

Mane is one of the players that Real Madrid cannot afford to underrate in the Champions League final on Saturday. The winger will create a lot of problems for Los Blancos on the left flank, with his amazing dribbling skills and decent passing ability.

Strong, difficult to dispossess and deadly in front of goal, the 26-year-old has all the qualities he needs to give Real Madrid defenders a tough time. Therefore, Zinedine Zidane must keep an eye on the Senegal International on Saturday night.
