In addition, a Champions League title will be a beautiful ending to close a successful season for Jurgen Klopp’s army after pocketing 2 domestic trophies, the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup before.

In addition, the result of the rematch with Real here is also decisive to the 2022 Ballon d’Or race of two heavyweights from Liverpool, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

Currently, Mane is rated better than Salah thanks to his excellent performance at both club and national team. Since the beginning of 2022, the 29-year-old striker has won 3 titles including the Cup of African Nations (CAN) with Senegal and the FA Cup and League Cup double with Liverpool.

However, when asked about the possibility of winning Golden Ball This season, Mane thinks he is at a disadvantage over other opponents for a reason.

Accordingly, the Senegalese striker admitted that African players were “abandoned” in the Ballon d’Or votes. The CAN title is also not as important as the European championships.

Mane thinks that African players are at a disadvantage compared to their European rivals in the 2022 Ballon d’Or race.

“It’s a pity that it’s true. CAN is the biggest trophy I’ve ever won in my life. It’s really sad that no African player has won the Ballon d’Or since George Weah. ” Mané shared before the Champions League final.

This makes Mane even more eager to get that noble individual title to reclaim justice for the African players.

However, for now, the Senegal international only wants to focus on the upcoming Champions League final against Real.

“It would be great if I had a Golden Ball as a bonus. Then I will become the happiest player in the world.

But winning the Champions League is also a great honor. We have a chance to play in the finals again and The team will do everything they can to win. Then we’ll see what happens with the Ballon d’Or race.” Mane showed determination.

Recently, Mane has been rumored to be a top target for Bayern Munich in this summer transfer window. He only has a contract with Liverpool until next summer and there is still no signal of a new contract between the two sides.

As for Mane, he still refuses to comment on his future but promises to reveal everything after the Champions League final is over.
