Sadio Mane reveals he and Liverpool team-mate Mo Salah have a pact of SILENCE on Senegal’s AFCON victory over Egypt... but admits they’re already LAUGHING about the Egyptian’s attempt at mind games when he missed penalty in the final

Sadio Mane has opened up on the pact of silence he shares with Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah following their dramatic meeting in the Africa Cup of Nations final.

Mane guided Senegal to their first ever AFCON title earlier this month when he scored the winning spot-kick in a tense penalty shootout against Salah's Egypt.

The final left the Liverpool duo feeling hugely contrasting emotions, with Mane experiencing the highest of highs as he returned to England as an African champion, while Salah came home empty handed.
