Liverpool star Mane apologises to former team Salzburg after Champions League elimination

The winger returned to his old stomping grounds and set up a goal that helped knock out his former team

Two former Salzburg players came back to haunt them as Liverpool eliminated the Austrian side from the Champions League on Tuesday.

Naby Keita and Sadio Mane both previously played for Salzburg and Keita scored the first goal in a 2-0 win that saw the Reds advance in first place from Group E, ahead of Napoli. Salzburg will be in the Europa League draw, having finished third.

Mane was delighted his current side had advanced, but had some sympathy for his former employers.
