The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2019: Ranking the top ten contenders for the award

#4 Sadio Mane (Liverpool and Senegal)

Liverpool FC v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League

Sadio Mane had a slow start to the 2018-19 season but finished it with a Champions League medal and a Premier League Golden Boot, which he shares with Mo Salah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Senegal international made sure he made up for his initial shortcomings in the later stages of the campaign, scoring 11 goals in 11 games for the Reds. He boasts of having tallied 26 goals in all competitions for Liverpool last season, making it his best goal-scoring campaign ever.

The 27-year-old played an integral part in the Merseyside club's 97-point haul in the Premier League, often rescuing the side from losing points when Salah was out of form.

Mane also led Senegal to the Africa Cup of Nations final but ultimately failed to get the better of eventual winners, Algeria. He may have missed two penalties in the tournament but there is no denying his importance for Senegal. The Liverpool superstar tallied three goals for the side during the tournament and led them to their first final since 2002.
