Painting the Town Red: Sadio Mane Sends 300 Liverpool Shirts to Home Village Ahead of UCL Final

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has revealed that he bought up 300 Liverpool shirts to be sent to his home village in Senegal ahead of the Champions League final.

The community of Bambali, where the 26-year-old's family reside, will be full of Reds fans come Saturday evening, when they take on Real Madrid in the much-anticipated showdown in Kiev.

Mane has played an integral role in Liverpool's rise to the top of Europe this season. Alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, the trio construct a devastating attacking line that haunts defences with frustratingly high presses and unprecedented pace, and it's worked an absolute charm on the continent this term.
