Sadio Mane shows class act after Liverpool lose to Real Madrid in the Champions League final 2022
After Liverpool’s Champions League final loss to Real Madrid on Saturday night, Sadio Mane demonstrated his class act by consoling his teammates.
The Reds were huge favorites to win the trophy going into the match. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s side won thanks to Vinicius Jr’s goal.
Liverpool were beaten 1-0 by Real Madrid on Saturday night, with Vinicius Jr’s goal in the 59th minute enough to give them the trophy.
Mane was bright in phases but, ultimately, the Liverpool star was unable to score.
And, after the game, he showed what a class act he is by consoling teammates on the field.
Mane was captured approaching Virgil van Dijk, who was on one knee looking dejected following the contest at the Stade de France.
And the former Southampton forward also consoled a devastated Fabinho, too.

Mane has been linked with a move away from Liverpool and, speaking before the final, was coy on his future.
And Mane is now expected to address reports over his future, once he’s digested Saturday night’s devastating defeat.
While Liverpool was in misery, Madrid was overjoyed.
Speaking after the match Carlo Ancelotti hailed his side for their performance, saying: “I can’t believe it. We had a fantastic season.
“We did really well. It was a difficult game and we suffered a lot, more so in the first half. In the end, I think we deserved to win this competition.
“We’re really happy. What can I say? I can’t say more.
“I think we passed through really difficult games. The supporters helped us a lot in the last game. They helped us tonight.
“We’re happy and they’re happy.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, has insisted his team will bounce back from the loss and go again next season.
