Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has declared that either Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane will suffer sorriness at full-time when they both represent their various countries in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations’ final.
Mane’s country Senegal will be heading on Salah’s side, Egypt in the last phase of the 33rd AFCON tournament on Sunday, 6th.
The match is scheduled to take place at Stade Olembe in Cameroon at 8pm.
The 54-year-old coach made the disclosure ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Cardiff City in the fourth-round of FA Cup on Sunday.
Therefore, either of the the two Liverpool stars will celebrate and jubilate while the other will suffer heartbreak depending on the result on the final day.
Meanwhile, The Lions of Teranga have given Burkina Faso the beating of their lives in a 3-1 victory in the semi-final on Wednesday, 2nd.

“Naby [Keita of Guinea] played an exceptional tournament as well. So far, a really successful tournament for our boys and it will be exciting.”
“It won’t be easy because one will be really happy afterward and one less so. It’s a chance to achieve something really big.”
