Former Liverpool defender Jimmy Carragher praised current team star Sadio Mane, comparing him to John Barnes, one of the best players in the English club’s history.
“I said he was Liverpool’s best player last season,” Carragher told Sky Sports after Mane scored twice against Chelsea on Sunday.
And he continued: “I always refer to Mane because it is the first great term that coach Juergen Klopp signs with the team, and this deal returned Liverpool to participate in the Champions League in Klopp’s first full season. If it weren’t for Mane , that wouldn’t have happened. “
“We love Barnes, we play with him. He was always in Liverpool’s historic formation, the left wing. I think when Mane’s career with the team is over, there will be a heated debate about who is better, and I can’t believe what I’m saying. because Barnes is like a god to me. “
“But what this man (Mane) has done since he came to Liverpool may displace Barnes.”
The 28-year-old Senegalese continued his impressive performance with the league champions, snatching three valuable Stamford Bridge points against Chelsea.
Mane scored his 83rd goal in 173 games for Liverpool.
Mane won the African Footballer of the Year award in 2019 after winning the European Champions League, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup with Liverpool.
