The moment Minamino Respects Mane Is in the Spotlight

DBasia.news – An interesting sight can be seen at the celebration of the English League Cup title by Liverpool. Takumi Minamino seems to respect Sadio Mane’s beliefs by not spraying champagne.

Liverpool went through a difficult road to win the English League Cup this season. Challenging Chelsea in the final, the Reds had to fight until a penalty shootout.

In the match at Wembley Stadium, both teams failed to score until extra time. Inevitably, the winner will be determined in a penalty shootout.

That’s when Liverpool’s winning mentality spoke. In total, Liverpool’s 11 penalty takers did their job perfectly. Meanwhile, Kepa Arrizabalaga became a disease for Chelsea by not writing his name on the scoreboard. The goalkeeper’s kick flew over the crossbar.

The victory made Liverpool players celebrate with a smile. Jordan Henderson climbed the podium steps before lifting his fifth trophy as Liverpool captain.

At the celebration party on the podium, an interesting sight was seen. Minamino who was celebrating took a champagne and wanted to squirt it.

However, in the footage from ESPN, Sadio Mane is seen as a devout Muslim asking Minamino to back off. Mane didn’t want his body to be exposed to Champagne.

The Japan international also respected Mane’s wishes. Minamino put down the champagne bottle he was already holding.

In another scene, Jurgen Klopp approaches Mane to make sure the striker doesn’t feel left out during Liverpool’s title celebrations.

Meanwhile, two other Muslim players, Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita, also seemed to avoid being exposed to alcohol as much as possible.
