Jurgen Klopp laments the sale of Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich

Jurgen Klopp has paid an emotional tribute to 'one of Liverpool's greatest players' and an 'modern-day icon' of the club after Sadio Mane completed his move to Bayern Munich - but said he 'can't pretend' it isn't a huge loss to his team.

Klopp said said the Senegalese forward, a key part of a ruthless and devastating front three at Anfield, had helped make all of the club's recent success possible.

Mane won the Champions League, Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and Carabao Cup during his six-year stay on Merseyside.
