Sadio Mane on Mo Salah:
“I have a lot of respect for him. He gave everything for his country. Unfortunately he didn’t win but I think he will have many more chances to win it with AFCON 2023. I think Egypt could win it then.”
Pure class from Sadio Mane
In February 2002, Aliou Cisse missed one of the penalties in the AFCON final causing Senegal to lose to Cameroon.
20 years later, he oversaw Senegal’s first AFCON victory in it’s history
