'You don't need your eye to play!' - Mane reveals Firmino text ahead of Liverpool's PSG win

The Brazilian overcame a nasty injury to score the winner in the Reds' opening Champions League group game at Anfield

He may not have scored, but Sadio Mane has revealed he played a major role in Liverpool's Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

The Reds got their European campaign off to a typically dramatic start at Anfield, with Roberto Firmino's stoppage-time strike giving them a thrilling 3-2 win over the Ligue 1 champions.

The Brazilian had started the game on the bench following a nasty eye injury sustained at Tottenham on Saturday, but showed his vision was spot on with an unerring 92nd-minute strike to give Jurgen Klopp's side all three points.
