Amid the celebrations at his country's historic achievement, Sadio Mane took a moment to seek out Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah.

Mane had just scored the winning penalty in the shoot-out to earn Senegal an Africa Cup of Nations final triumph over Egypt in Cameroon last month, Salah left standing as he waited to take the final spot kick that never came given his team had already missed twice.

“I told him that he remains a very great player and it’s a pleasure to play for the same club,” Mane later revealed. "I have so much respect for him and he gave everything for his country. Unfortunately, he didn’t win, but that doesn’t mean it’s over for him. I also told him that he still has many things to win."

Mane, though, will hope he isn't proven right at the first available opportunity as the duo are back on opposing sides this international break. Senegal and Egypt face off for a place at the World Cup finals in Qatar
