Mané signed for Liverpool in 2016 for a fee of £34 million. At the time, this made him the most expensive African player in history. In his second season with Liverpool, he scored in the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final in his side's 3–1 loss to Real Madrid. This made him the first Senegalese to score in the final of the competition. The next season, Mané won the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League with Liverpool, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 2–0 in the final. The same season, he was the joint-winner of the Premier League Golden Boot with 22 goals.
