Sadio Mane breaks Didier Drogba's Champions League record after Villarreal win
Sadio Mane broke the record for most goals scored by an African player in Champions League knockout rounds after netting in Liverpool’s 3-2 win over Villarreal on Tuesday.
The winger has now scored 15 goals in Champions League knock-round games with Liverpool.
Didier Drogba had held the record for a long time after having scored 14 goals in big knockout games in the competition.
Mane capitalized on a horrible goalkeeping error from Villarreal goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli to score Liverpool’s third in the game, effectively sealing the tie.
The 30-year-old has 5 goals in 12 Champions League games this season and will have a chance to increase that in the final.
