"It's the best day of my life," said Sadio Mané at the time after clinching Senegal's first-ever Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), a milestone that came after losing his two previous finals.
The soccer player, who was then part of a dominant Liverpool in European football, also earned the title of MVP of the continental tournament after contributing three goals and two assists. He stated that despite winning the Champions League and other trophies, AFCON title was more "special" and "important" to him.
After dazzling in the 2021 edition, he aims to have a significant impact in the 2023 edition to bring a second consecutive title to Senegal.
