Liverpool's Senegalese star is a joy to watch on the pitch and off it. Sadio Mane's humble attitude is what makes him special and he prefers to stay quiet and let the others lead, doing all of his talking on the pitch. He has done that for Liverpool on so many occasions. Mane has scored last-minute derby winners, European hat-tricks and even netted in the Champions League final.

Mane has had a massive impact on Liverpool since day one, when he and his Liverpool teammates rocked North London. The Reds came from a goal behind to lead 3-1 against Arsenal, thanks to the immense efforts of Philippe Coutinho. But the best moment of the match came when Mane received the ball on the right side of the halfway line and proceeded to run with the ball.

With fire in his boots, Sadio Mane raced across the right touchline, cut inside and stunned the entire Emirates Stadium with his weaker foot. It was a tremendous strike from the debutant, and hugely important. Arsenal fought back but Liverpool won the game 4-3.
