In a season where the likes of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino have been relatively quiet on the biggest stages, the Senegalese continues to be the source of inspiration for Jurgen Klopp's men as they hunt down the Champions League trophy once again this term.
Mane was one of the top performers in the Round of 16 stage, producing an unbelievable display to knock out Bayern Munich from the tournament last week by scoring 2 spectacular goals as The Reds edged out their Bundesliga rivals 3-1 on aggregate. The attacker has 3 Champions League goals and 2 assists to his name this season and with a clash against Porto up next, we should expect more from him.
