Sadio Mane scored the winning penalty for Senegal in the final of the 2021 edition of Afcon but has now secured his second continental crown - and was named as most valuable player at the 2025 finals
Sadio Mane was the hero for Senegal once again, but not for the reasons you would expect.
The former Liverpool and Bayern Munich forward claimed his second Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) crown on Sunday, with the Teranga Lions beating host nation Morocco in a final filled with controversy.
In stoppage time, Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw tried to usher his team off the field after Morocco were awarded a penalty in the 98th minute when defender El Hadji Malick Diouf brought down Brahim Diaz.
With the Senegal players back in the changing rooms, Mane was pictured entering and then ushering them back out on to the pitch.
