Fast forward six years and the England striker is now one of the hottest properties in world football. And it’s Los Blancos who are heading the race to sign Tottenham‘s talismanic striker.

It was a stunning opening although, of course, reminiscent of the last European outing when Liverpool raced into a 3-0 lead in Sevilla only to fold like a Southport deck chair. But it was hard to see the Russians fighting back like Sevilla had done and Mane wrapped it up with the goal of the night two minutes after the break. Sub James Milner floated over a perfect cross from the left and Mane volleyed in a spectacular right-foot blast as he fell backwards onto the Anfield turf. Liverpool continued... Читать дальше...
