The last time Sadio Mane pulled on a shirt for Senegal, the eyes of a continent were on the Liverpool man.
In the lead-up to the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final against Cameroon, Mane had been one of the players of the tournament, and Senegal, undoubtedly, the team of the competition.
But after a goalless draw with Cameroon, it came to Mane to take the decisive penalty. He saw it saved and proceeded to break down in tears, to such an extent that he couldn’t stand and had to be half-carried off the field by his team-mates.
