Unlike Liverpool, Bayern Surprise Sadio Mané After Winning CAF Player of the Year | Watch Video

Liverpool have been called out by some football fans on social media after Bayern Munich surprised Sadio Mane with a cake and a celebration after he won the CAF Player of the Year award.

Mane only joined the Bundesliga giants some weeks ago from Liverpool, but he’s already fast becoming a liked figure in Bavaria.

The German champions gave the Senegal international a great reception on his return from Rabat, where was crowned as the continent’s best men’s player for the second time.

Mane beat off competition from compatriot Edouard Mendy and former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah to scoop the award.

In a video shared by Bayern, the club celebrated the forward’s triumph with a customised cake and some candles.

“Never in the club’s history have we had an African Footballer of the Year in our squad, can’t tell you how proud we are as he deserved the award,” Bayern chairman Oliver Kahn effused.

The grandiose nature of the celebration has led to some social media football fans calling out Liverpool for failing to do the same for the Senegal star when he played for the Reds.

It will be recalled that there was no public celebration or even acknowledgement at all when Mane led his country to win the 2021 AFCON earlier this year.
