Sadio Mané’s reaction after the match on beIN Sports:
“I think we should have done better. Afterwards, I think that’s how football is made. You have to deal with it. You have to be ready from start to finish otherwise you risk being punished. And I think that’s what happened at the start of the match. These are things to rectify. Now we’re going to go and rest. Above all, we must not make these kinds of mistakes against upcoming teams. »
“It’s nice to give him (Mbaye) a pass. We know each other very well. His quality of speed is incredible, I just had to put it on him. He knew how to take advantage of it. We are all happy for him. »
