Barcelona Legend Xavi Warns of Threat Posed by Liverpool's Sadio Mane Ahead of Camp Nou Showdown

Legendary Barcelona midfielder Xavi has warned his former club of the threat Liverpool forward Sadio Mane may pose during the first leg of their semi-final Champions League clash on Wednesday.

Mane's ability to score goals and provide assists has served him extremely well in the Premier League during the 2018/19 season, bagging 20 goals to add to his already impressive career tally.

Xavi - who won the prestigious tournament with Barcelona four times in his career - insists the Senegalese attacker will be a handful during the clash, comparing him to Reds teammate and last seasons' PFA Player of the Season, Mohamed Salah, before stating that left-back Jordi Alba will have a difficult evening.
