Sadio Mane: Leipzig performance is our benchmark

Clinical second-half finishes from Mohamed Salah and Mane earned their team a 2-0 victory in the Champions League last-16 first leg, with the Reds putting in an impressive display across the 90 minutes in Budapest.

And the No.10 wants Jürgen Klopp’s side to replicate that collective level in the coming weeks and months.

Mane told Liverpoolfc.com: “I think it wasn’t an easy game. We have had a really tough time but we never doubted [ourselves].

“We knew it wouldn’t be an easy game from the beginning and it’s not a surprise for us, so we are doing our best, we keep fighting like we can and tonight we showed our character.
