The Liverpool star has won the prize for the first time, holding off competition from his club team-mate and the Man City winger
Sadio Mane has beaten Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah and Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez to the CAF African Player of the Year award for 2019.
Mane was a standout player as Liverpool went all the way in the 2018-19 Champions League, while he has also enjoyed a strong start to the 2019-20 Premier League campaign.
The Senegal international placed in the top three in each of the previous three years, finishing runner-up to Salah in 2017 and 2018, and third in 2016, when Mahrez came first.
Arguably an African great. One of the continent’s best ever. GOATs even. Isi-ewu?

Good ke? One of the best players in the world today, you are calling merely good? My only complaint about Mane is that he does not play as well for Senegal as he does for Liverpool, though that may be the fault of the Senegalese coach.

One of the best in the World. Not sure Liverpool would be as dominant without him. A real Legend of the game.

Just imagine how unstoppable he'd be if he wasnt brain dead. Tufiakwa! One of the dumbest footballers out there. So much talent and ability, very sad.

Parody. It's no longer possible to take you seriously. A shame.

I was priming my weapons for a devastating riposte, but I remembered that I had promised not to yab you any more. Please learn to make suitable comparisons. And stop pushing your luck.
Do I work for Nigeria, or for a Nigerian government company? Do I use any Nigerian amenities? Did I get any training in Nigeria? Do I have a Nigerian passport?
Sadio Mane plays, i.e., works for Senegal. As a professional, he should do his job at the same level of competence wherever he agrees to work.
