Bayern Munich newcomer Sadio Mane has revealed a shocking story from his last Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

In a match against Cape Verde, the Senegalese received a blow to the head from the opponent’s goalkeeper. The ex-football player of Liverpool suffered a concussion and was unable to continue the game. On medical grounds, he should have missed the quarter-finals at the very least.

When I got injured in the match against Cape Verde and got a concussion, Liverpool put pressure on the federation and wrote a letter to FIFA saying that I needed at least five days of rest, which means I would miss the quarter-finals. I knew I shouldn’t play, but I said, “Let’s make a contract. It will be my responsibility, I will sign it. If I die, they might say it’s my fault. It’s nobody’s fault”. They said, “Sadio, you can’t play»but I said: “No, no, this is not an option,” Mane quotes Pro Direct Soccer France.

As a result, Mane played in the next match against Equatorial Guinea. He then went all the way to the final with Senegal, where they defeated Egypt on penalties to become champions.
