Mane scored the game-winning penalty after Egypt goalkeeper Gabaski saved his earlier attempt.

Mane won the Premier League title in 2020, the Champions League in 2019, the Uefa Super Cup in 2019, and the Fifa Club World Cup in 2019. He joined Liverpool from Southampton in 2016.

But according to him, the AFCON title is the most special.

“I am very proud and I think it is the best moment of my life ever. This day I think it is the best day. I won the Champions League and some trophies but I think this is the special one for me, this is more important for me,” Mane told GOAL after the game.
