Sadio Mane Competes with Steven Gerrard’s Record

DBasia.news –  Senegalese player, Sadio Mane has collected 15 goals, while Steven Gerrard collected 21 goals. So far, Mane has only scored one goal in the Champions League. He scored the goal when facing Red Bull Salzburg.

This season, Liverpool’s pace has been quite struggling in the Champions League. Losing to Napoli in the inaugural match, the Reds painstakingly defeated Red Bull Salzburg in the second match at Anfield. Furthermore, Jurgen Klopp’s team are scheduled to face K.R.C. Genk.

Mane has been one of Liverpool’s key players in the Champions League in the past two seasons. In the 2017/18 season, he succeeded in bringing the Reds to the final. However, at that time they lost to Real Madrid in the final. At that time he had posted 10 goals.

While last season when he succeeded in bringing Liverpool to becoming champions, Mane only packed four goals. Gerrard, when he won the title in 2005, only scored two goals in eight matches.

Not only Mane, two other players who still have the potential to match Gerrard’s record are Mohamed Salah (17) and Roberto Firmino (14). All three were always played by Klopp if there are no injuries. So that the opportunity to match the intended record becomes larger.
