JAKARTA - As Liverpool struggled to draw 2-2 against Fulham in their Premier League opener last weekend, their former player Sadio Mane scored in Bayern Munich's 6-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
His slick performance was a moment for Sadio Mane to show Liverpool what they were missing. Mane proved Liverpool wrong to let him go with a stunning debut display for Bayern Munich.
Mane joined the Bundesliga champions this summer. He decided to move from Anfield after going through six very successful seasons.
There is news that says, Mane decided to move because he was disappointed with the attitude of Liverpool management who put Mohammed Salah ahead of him. This is related to the club's efforts in the contract extension process.
Even though he has just moved to the Bundesliga competition, the Senegalese star player did not need much time to make an impressive impression in his new environment.
Sadio Mane listed his name on the scoreboard in the 29th minute. Mane's goal was created through a header after receiving Serge Gnabry's pass. A few minutes later, Mane also became the creator of goals made by Thomas Muller.
Although relatively new, Mane seems to be at "home". His presence received appreciation from fans on social media.
"This guy had a big impact on 3 of Bayern's 6 goals. It was really special in his first Bundesliga game," said a netizen quoted from the Daily Star.
While Mane was being lauded, Liverpool actually got the spotlight. Mane's former club achieved unsatisfactory results in the opening match.
Jurgen Klopp's team was only able to draw 2-2 against Fulham and was overwhelmed in breaking into the opponent's goal. Luckily, the inclusion of Darwin Nunez could be a deadlock.
