Rabat: Sadio Mane will cement his status as one of the all-time great African players if he can lead Senegal to victory against hosts Morocco in Sunday's Cup of Nations final -- a game he has said will be his farewell to the tournament.
Former Liverpool star Mane turns 34 in April and has played over 120 times for his country going back to a debut against Morocco shortly after his 20th birthday in 2012.
The high point of his international career came in February 2022, when he starred as the Lions of Teranga beat Egypt on penalties in the Cup of Nations final in Yaounde.
Having missed a penalty during normal time that night, he stepped up to score the decisive kick in the shoot-out and Senegal -- World Cup quarter-finalists in 2002 -- were African champions for the first time.
A huge weight was lifted off the shoulders of the boy from a small town on the banks of the Casamance River in southern Senegal.
