Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane the stars but Africa Cup of Nations final about more than Liverpool duo
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp almost caused something of an international incident back in November when he referred to the Africa Cup of Nations as a ‘little tournament’.

Live: Salah's Egypt take on Mané's Senegal in final showdown
It is easy to see why the Teranga Lions went into the tournament as favourites. Mané provides lacerating pace, dazzling creativity and clinical finishing skills. They have arguably the best shot-stopper playing today in the shape of Chelsea goalkeeper Édouard Mendy. Napoli’s rock-solid defensive linchpin Kalidou Koulibaly and PSG box-to-box midfielder Idrissa Gueye – Senegal’s two world-class stars – have the field between the goalposts and upfront covered.
Jurgen Klopp: Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane’s AFCON exploits will help Liverpool

This is África
Cuando hace poco más de un mes un periodista le preguntó a Jürgen Klopp, entrenador del Liverpool, cómo iba a afrontar las siguientes semanas sin sus dos grandes estrellas, Mané y Salah, por la presencia de estos en la Copa de África, el alemán fue tajante: “He planificado los partidos pensando en que van a llegar muy lejos y que no voy a poder contar con ninguno de los dos durante un tiempo largo”. Se desconoce si Klopp tiene algún curso de adivinación y futurología, pero como analista y previsor no tiene rival. Tanto Mané como Salah, las dos grandes estrellas del continente africano, jugarán hoy (20:00) la final de la CAN 2021 en Camerún después de haber liderado a las selecciones de Senegal y Egipto, respectivamente.
