Sadio Mane sent major Mohamed Salah and Karim Benzema message

Sadio Mane has been tipped by one pundit to win the Ballon d’OR ahead of Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.

The latter is currently favourite with bookmakers to win the prestigious award , having scored his 41st goal of the season for Real Madrid in their Champions League semi-final clash with Manchester City on Tuesday night. While Salah has been a standout performer for Jurgen Klopp’s quadruple-chasing side.

Mane was previously in contention for the 2019 Ballon d’OR , finishing 4th, with Salah and Virgil van Dijk also in the running after Liverpool lifted the Champions League. However, ex-Premier League striker Gabby Agbonlahor believes the Senegalese striker could have an even stronger claim this time around, given his success on the international stage.
