Sadio Mane and Bukayo Saka shared a heartfelt embrace at the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony in Paris on Monday night.
Mane, who now plays for Bayern Munich, attended the event after a strong campaign at Liverpool last term which put him in the running for the main award, while Saka was joined by Arsenal Women's duo Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema.
Ahead of the ceremony, Mane and Saka crossed paths and had a lengthy hug. Mane appeared to be whispering a message into Saka's ear throughout.
The details of the message remain unknown, but Mane's words left Saka with a smile on his face as the pair went their separate ways.
